Wicklow Mountains

Wicklow-Mountains-ValleyHappy Monday morning all

certainly a little bit cooler this morning and a frost on the ground, so I thought we’d appreciate a warmer looking image for today’s upload. This one form my recent Ireland trip and is of Wicklow Mountain valley pass, an absolutely stunning location with a  little of everything for everyone.

The drive up there is as stunning as the summit view, i should have got Jo to drive as I nearly crashed HuMo (Husky Mobile) twice. It gets quite busy up there so we had to hang around a while while the hoards  dissipated a little.

Planning has started on next years Ireland trip West and South West is the plan, we’ll spend a little more time in one place this time until I get the required shots. This years trip was more a reccy so I had to take what I could weather wise and as we all know Ireland is very green and lush for a reason…..yup very wet too.

Here’s hoping for plenty of the white stuff this next few weeks

Wicklow

Wicklow-1Hi all

finally got around to uploading my images from my super Colorspace Unit of the Ireland trip to my Mac today, taken a while but hopefully you’ll agree worth it.

The first is from the latter end of the trip high up in the Wicklow mountains, I even managed to fall in the river below here twice, once most embarrassingly rolling about like a turtle on its back not being able to correct itself. After the sniggers died down I rolled sideways out of the heather and rocks and eventually to safety……funny after the fact but not at the time.

Weather wise we had pretty good days on the whole 3 really wet ones and I mean wet , it was like having buckets of water thrown at you for 72 hours, not fun for sure and it did ruin one of my intended shoots at the Cliffs of Moher. So next years trip will be there until I get all the images I need for the book.

We had fun and games with Binny Boo slipping her collar in Dublin, million to one accident we still can’t work out how on earth it happened, anyway the drivers of Dublin were amazing and stopped traffic while we recovered her, all safe apart from us nearly having a heart attack!!! new super dooper collars and connectors here now.
