See yesterday's post of reflections from the lake at Kylemore here: https://panoramicireland.com/photo-tours-blog/kylemore-abbey-connemara-galway-west-ireland-reflections
By 1903 Kylemore Abbey was in new hands but in 1920 Benedictine nuns forced to leave Ypres in Belgium during World War I bought it and established a school, both boarding and for local day pupils.
Kylemore Abbey ceased being a school in 2010 but it still remains a popular tourist destination especially for its walled garden - a place that I have visited many times over the years.
One of its most famous pupils was Anjelica Huston, actress, director and daughter of John Huston - director of The African Queen, The Maltese Falcon, A Farewall to Arms, Moby Dick and The Dead amongst others.
Connemara is an area that I photograph in often, leading photography tours in the western region covering landscapes, coast and heritage.
