Wicklow Gap

Wicklow Gap

Having spent a few hours at Glendalough and the Wicklow Gap last week, I’m eager to get back up there before all the Autumn colour is gone. I tried to get a shot of the upper lake at Glendalough but it clouded over too much. I headed up the Wicklow Gap and got a few good landscape shots, so the trip was worth it.

Could do with a break in the weather

Sruth In Aghaidh An Aird

Stream Against The Slope

Having photographed Glencar Waterfall many times over the years I decided to be a bit more adventureous and try to photograph its much higher neighbour which is only clearly visible after heavy rainfall. Its name in Irish ” Sruth in aghaidh an aird ” translates as ” Stream against the slope ” . It took me about an hour to hike up to the face of the mountain but it was well worth it. An incredible sight reminiscent of Yellowstone National Park or somewhere far away and exotic. A well kept secret. If it was easily accessible from the road it could be enjoyed by all.
