Glencree & Great Sugar Loaf


Great Sugar Loaf #2

The peak away off in the distance is the Great Sugar Loaf Mountain in Co. Wicklow, and this shot is taken from the 'Military Road' that runs through the county, over the top of the Wicklow Mountains.

The mountain is actually quite low at 501 metres, but it's got what I consider to be more of a classic 'mountain' shape than the domed hills of the Wicklow Mountains (which are generally higher, Lugnaquilla being the highest point in the county at 925 metres).

I'd been meaning to get up here for a while to take some shots, I'll come back some evening to get the sunset colours :)
