Its highest peak, Slieve Elva overlooks Galway Bay and the Aran/ Islands. It is an area of scenic attractions- wild and lonely but picturesque- where the clear light, reflected from the stone grey hills, seems to radiate an air/ of timelessness, which is made more realistic by the presence of many pre-/ historic remains that dot the fields and the valley beneath. The Burren is of/ particular interest to the archaeologists, botanists, speleologists, zoologists/ ornithologists etc."; bar code at top right with 5 099563 002076" under; five lines for address; at bottom right "Photo: Felix Zaska 2/468/ Printed and Published in Ireland by John Hinde Ltd.
