Snow in the Sally Gap

February 27th, 2009

A few weeks back my partner and I braved the elements to venture up the Wicklow mountains in search of some winter landscape shots. We wrapped in multiple layers of clothing, packed the car with some essentials, and drove up into the mountains. When we reached a point where the road was blocked with snow, we got out and hiked the rest of the way. Our exertion was well rewarded when we witnessed the sun rising over the icy landscape.

camera gear – check,
coats, fleeces – check,
wellies – check,
spare socks – check,
flask of hot coffee and biccies – check,
space blanket (well you never know!) – check.

Here are a couple of shots from the mini expedition.

Water study, Co. Leitrim

Glencar waterfall, located close to scenic Leitrim’s Sligo border, is so pretty that Sligonians often try to claim it as their own.

Closeby is Lough Gill, another picturesque natural water feature.
