Galway International Rally, February 2024.
I photographed in east Galway, close to Headford at the start of the month as Ireland's opening tarmac rally and its oldest international rally took place over 13 stages.
Keith Cronin took first place over the two days in his Ford Fiesta and keeps that lead into the next round.

On November 26th 1836 John McAdam died.
Next time you drive your car, take a moment to thank John Loudon McAdam, whose development of the ‘macadam’ road building technique, paved the way for your smooth road trip. McAdam was the Scotsman who was responsible for the greatest advance in road construction since the Romans
A little known fact about "oor" man John is that the family name was traditionally McGregor, but was changed to McAdam (claiming descent from the Biblical Adam) for political reasons in James VI's reign, the name McGregor was banned for a time.following their involvement in various feuds and conflicts, including clashes with rival clans and political upheavals. The banlasted some 171 years from 1603 till 1774.
He moved to New York in 1770 and, as a merchant and prize agent during the American Revolution, basically he was selling goods seized by the British, "the spoils of war",and made his fortune working at his uncle's counting house, but after the War and being on the losing side, his assets were seized in turn and he was kicked out of newly independent America.
He must have still had enough tucked away for on his return to Scotland in 1783 he purchased an estate at Sauchrie, Ayrshire.
In McAdam’s day, the roads had long since deteriorated from how the Romans had left them and after he returned from ‘the Colonies’, McAdam, at his own expense, began to experiment with various methods of road building. He was determined to do something about roads, which were in his own words, “at once loose, rough, and perishable, tedious and dangerous to travel on, and very costly to repair”.
He developed his revolutionary method, involving a system of improved drainage, and confidently asserted that his roads would be impervious to the weathering action of wind and rain, and withstand the heavy traffic of the day. Doubters and sceptics were plenty and scornful, but McAdam astounded everyone by coming up with the secret of building durable roadways that were far cheaper to maintain.
Due to his inventiveness, the highways of Falmouth and Bristol were transformed from rutted quagmires into even, hard surfaced and well-drained carriageways that could withstand the dual pressures of traffic and weather. In addition to being the creator of better road surfaces, McAdam also developed ideas of good road management, which many of the turnpike companies of the day adopted. As a result of his success, in 1827, McAdam was made Surveyor General of Metropolitan roads for England, Scotland and Wales.
McAdam was given a cash sum by Parliament for his work, but that was merely a token in relation to the enormous effort he had expended, he was also offered a knighthood, but turned it down!
Although McAdam held valid patents on his method of road building, those were neither protected nor enforced and he received no royalties. Maybe that was fair enough as his processes were so important for the public good, McAdam died relatively poor on the 26th of November, 1836, and was buried in Moffat, in Dumfriesshire.

Ground type chungus monsters.
Tarricade were found traditionally in arid plains and wastelands however today are more likely to be found around the outskirts of cities and isolated towns. They cause a number of issues as they tear up road surfaces to eat and are notoriously difficult to move on.
Baobasaur use their mighty girth to store copious quantities of water and can survive prolonged droughts for years if they are suitably prepared. When travelling, their steps can carve holes in the ground that fill with water pressed from their feet by their own huge weight.
