It's now mid-September and we are of course past the end of summer in Ireland.
Here, a scene from a summer journey along one of Ireland's least visited counties, County Cavan, home to scenic roads like this.
I couldn't travel fast on this road (why would anyone want to?) but it made the journey to my destination much more interesting and enjoyable.
And my journey was indeed slow, not just because of the road but also the need to stop frequently to photograph.
