I was scouting around online for videos that might do a better job of showing off my new home than I have managed to do in photographs so far myself when I found a lovely clip of Temple Bar, Dublin (to go with my album on that awful social networking site that we all love so much).
After I watched that clip, I impulsively clicked on a related Galway clip. I've never been to Galway... but the Galway film just... just... made me catch my breath and go "aaaaah, man".
I think the Galway film is so moving because the lighting is beautiful, and the choice of background music sets the perfect tone, somewhere between nostalgia, deep sadness, and an unrelenting love of life.
This is a truly beautiful film, even though it feels a bit long in parts for those of us who would rather engage with our heads than with our hearts:
