Cold Weather Colour in the Mourne Mountains, County Down

Beautiful golden light in the Mourne Mountains, County Down, as the recent cold weather comes to an end.

Ireland has in recent weeks seen days with low temperatures, as low as -9C - winter is well and truly here. 

But now, in a quick change, we have reached 11C - a change in some places of 12 degrees in 24 hours, 20 degrees in less than a week.

For the moment, this golden landscape with white snow/ice high ground is well gone, rain and higher temperatures melting anything that still lasted from days of below freezing temperatures.

Join Panoramic Ireland to photograph in the Irish countryside, from the Mourne Mountains in County Down to Dingle, County Kerry.
