Oh my! Does it hurt? Not at all, only if you forget to put on the gloves:-) Sorry! I couldn't resist! Wonderful shot though the poor old bison must have felt it!

I can't imagine that it would feel good at all.

It's on "L[ake] Shindillagh" according to this - www.postcardsireland.com/postcard/through-green-hills-eri...

via Irish Cottage Prints Irish Cottage Prints on Flickr "Mick McQuaid was a notorious poitín distiller of the last century. This cabin is typical of the poitín makers’ home. The cabin has no windows – this may be because it was originally built when there was a tax levied according to the number of windows in a house."

Aka Mick McQuaid’s Castle, L. Shindillagh "The caption refers to a contemporary cartoon character - Mick McQuaid - whose exploits featured in a popular periodical called the Shamrock, from the 1860s to the early twentieth century." www.omnia.ie/index.php?navigation_function=2&navigati...

"In the 1880's a popular magazine named 'The Shamrock' featured a serial written by a Colonel Lynam about imaginary conversations between an optimist, Mick McQuaid, and a pessimist, Terry Garrity. During these philosophical conversations, Mick often drew inspiration from a pipeful of Carroll's tobacco. Consequently, in 1889, the company launched one of its most successful tobaccos, Mick McQuaid." pipesmagazine.com/forums/topic/pj-carroll-dundalk-ireland...

National Library of Ireland on The Commons There ye go.. Michael Carroll, 63 in 1901, Shepherd. The man to his right might be one of his sons. www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Galway/Cloubroc... If it is the Michael Carroll as per 1901 census then the photograph was taken before 1911 as he had passed away by then. www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/results.jsp?census_...

This is a fantastic picture of times past and farming practices long gone. Red raddle has been supplanted by dye markers and so on but this image tells a story of an ancient way of identifying your property. I love the stocks to hold the poor sheep while his backside is being burned. In the background the fleeces are being gathered having been sheared just before the branding! Wonderful image.
