    My guess is somewhere on the Roscommon side. Probably because of the stone walls :P

    The photo is actually part of this amazing set of photos (there's a few more of Athlone):

    It could be almost anywhere - There were stone walls on the Westmeath side as well.... I'd guess Coosan, somewhere near Lough Ree - Judging by the colour of the grass...;)

    I'd say it's somewhere out in Kiltoom, judging by the length of the grass ;)
