The Ploughing returned from pandemic lockdown with huge crowds descending on Ratheniska in Laois on Day one which saw super September sunshine making it more special than ever.
Photographer Alf Harvey was on the ground on Tuesday at the National and World Ploughing Championships capturing the sights and scenes on camera.
That's the last of the Alf Harvey's photos from Day one of the Ploughing in Ratheniska. There'll be lots more coverage in during the rest of the event.
