Last shot from this trip - I liked the bench here, looking out over the lake itself...

Another shot from my recent visit to Glendalough. This was taken just above Poulanass waterfall, from a little bridge over the stream itself.

On the left of the image you can see a little bit of snow, the ground above this point still had a couple of inches of snow lying on it.

Back to Glendalough - with the snow we had recently I didn't want to miss out on the chance of shooting here while it still had a covering of the white stuff.

I had considered going up there on the previous weekend but the snow was still quite heavy & the roads around that part of Wicklow were supposedly difficult to negotiate.

This is a merge of two images, both taken at 28mm. It's cropped at a 17 X 6 ratio.

Still there...

Fifth day of snow & I don't think it'll melt tomorrow... :)

At least the roads are clearer now, if somewhat icy.

The view from my window the other night. We don't get much snow in Ireland, when we do get a big fall it often results in transport chaos as all the roads shut down. It's not as bad where I grew up, as that is at sea-level, but up here in the hills we got a nice covering of the white stuff.
