Inishmore Cows, Aran Islands, Ireland, 1993

Cows graze beside some of the hundreds of miles of stone walls that crisscross Inishmore. The walls mark field boundaries and also serve a double purpose as well—farmers needed somewhere to pile the stones they had to remove from their rock-strewn fields in order to farm.
