Ireland, despite a northerly latitude, sees little snow in the winter.
Indeed the countryside remains green for most of the dark months of the year, here mid-winter in the west of Ireland a scene of fields, wooded sections, a high water table and sheep grazing.
All under a dramatic sky to add character to the end of the short day.
So, while it does snow in Ireland in winter and spring, it looks a lot like this for the darker months of the year.
