Title
Photograph of a man throwing rye grass onto a roof for thatching.
Description
Photograph of a young man throwing up bundles of rye grass onto the roof of a cottage for thatching, Aran Islands. In the right foreground, stands the young man, his hands out in front of him. He looks up at the two bundles of grass in the air, in the centre midground. Another young man, in the left background, sits with both feet on a rung of a ladder tied onto the roof, of the white washed cottage. He waits ready to catch the bundles. Stone walls run on either side of the cottage.
