A recent photography tour in County Donegal brought us to the edge of a mountain to photograph the landscape of Ireland's most northerly county.
The weather was overcast, torrential rain had put an early end to photographic pursuits the previous evening, so despite a long journey across the country we headed off to photograph at least a few of the scenes missed.
Just off the boggy path, sodden from the recent heavy precipitation, we spotted a relaxed sheep just sitting on the edge of a rock.
With a smile it watched our every move, unperturbed by our presence and the glass of our long lenses pointed right at it.
No doubt finding mirth at our clumsy perambulation across the narrow, slippy track.
For a time this was the most photographed sheep in Donegal, and the most accommodating, as it continued with its perfect pose for some time.
A moment of utilitarianism.
On we went in search of waterfalls and ancient ruins.
Join Panoramic Ireland, that's me, to photograph in the Irish mountains or the urban wilderness of Dublin.
