Taken by renowned photographer John Hinde, this image showcases the traditional Irish practice of cutting turf for fuel in the picturesque village of Oughterard, located in the scenic region of Connemara, County Galway.

The reflection of the clear, blue sky in the still waters of the nearby lake adds a serene and tranquil element to the scene, while the rolling hills and the distant, mist-covered mountains create a sense of depth and vastness.
