[Leica] IMG: Lindbergh who?

[Douglas Barry]

Just back from a week down in Connemara in the west of Ireland.

Here's a shot I took down there. It's a sort of homage to Herbert List's 
1937 photograph.

A honeysuckle slip in a bottle beside the outdoor eating area of Baidín 
restaurant in Clifden, Co. Galway overlooking the Atlantic. The Alcock & 
Brown 1919 landing site for the very first non-stop transatlantic flight 
is about 4km from this bottle. They flew eastwards across the ocean in a 
Vickers Vimy and saw what they thought was a verdant green landing strip 
beside the Marconi radio station. Unfortunately, it was a bog.  Luckily 
they weren't hurt.
