    Looks like between Maam and Leenaun somewhere...

    Very sad photograph, hopefully they were living in the little cottage down the road.
  • CASSIDY PHOTOGRAPHY said:
    That was how the poor lived. It is their home made of sod and thatched roof.

    Niall McAuley John A. Coffey CASSIDY PHOTOGRAPHY I have some memory there were houses (is that the correct word?) very similar to this one built on farming land in early USA history? Perhaps by Irish settlers.

    Congratulation for your beautiful Album.

    The narrow body of water, the background and the subjects immediately made me think Kerry, and more specifically Valentia Island. I think if you look at the triangular shaped field in the back ground on the left and the line of trees from the shore, it matches up with the view from this link looking across a boggy field from Carhan Lower, Co. Kerry on the road to Portmagee looking over at Valentia Island. goo.gl/maps/J1cq43KVBtP2
