A chainsaw artist has transformed Storm Éowyn-fallen trees in Barna Woods into local wildlife and magical sculptures.
Visitors will now be greeted by wooden carvings of a Wizened Tree Spirit, Fairy House, Owl, Eagle, and Otter, along with some new seating areas.
It's part of a Galway City Council project to transform fallen trees into an enchanted route through the woods, funded by Creative Ireland.
Almost a hundred trees were felled at Barna Woods in January of this year during the storm, with many woods, including Barna, closed in the aftermath.
