Ireland's built heritage is pretty impressive. How many castles do you think
are scattered across the country? It's hard to believe - more than 30 000! And
what about the abbeys, the churches and the monasteries, the round towers, and
all the forts and dolmens... not to mention the old graveyards that have so
much to offer with their amazing sculptural elements and carvings. Thousands
and thousands of monuments are still there for us, waiting to be rediscovered,
researched and remembered once and for all. There's a stone treasure behind
every corner, in the middle of each field, beside every shore.

I fell in love with this heritage when I first visited the country and I
started a photo and text diary four years ago. I'd love to share some shots
and stories from my trips, to involve people in a travel through time and
encourage everybody to keep their eyes wide open next time when they're
traveling. Maybe on the way to your parents' house you've seen a pile of
stones or an interesting ruin? Go closer, take pictures, ask locals about its
history or simply google it. Share what you've found with friends and family
(and with me if possible, I'm always ready for a historical adventure). It's
probably there for ages (literally) so why not learn its name at least. Let's
reveal the secrets of Hidden Ireland and breathe new life into the built
heritage by photo taking, researching and sharing.

The photo & text exhibition is going to be displayed at Eyre Square, Galway.
The organizer - myself, will be there to engage with people. The images will
be exhibited via display stands (placed under an outdoor tent if the weather
conditions are bad). Free postcards with some Hidden Ireland pictures would be
available for the visitors. The event will be advertised by social media - my
business Instagram account (e.i.art.official)
