Destroying Sally Gap...

I used to love Sally Gap @ Wicklow Mountains.. It was one of the most beautiful places in Ireland - no sign of any buildings (unless you count the Kippure mast and some beautiful old ruins), the lone signpost, sheep, deer, foxes.. and the beautiful mountains in every direction.


And then, some feckin' eejit decided to get rid of the typically Irish signpost, replacing it with these horrible modern road signs! :O Honestly.. They have killed the place!

About ten years ago, I made a mock picture of one of my Connemara photos, adding American style motorway signs, McDonald's ad post, "Leprechaun Village" sign, etc. (I don't have that picture on the laptop, but I'm sure it's still on some old hard drive..) It was a funny joke, at the time, but it's scary how close the reality is getting..

Edit: I found that old photo;
