Not very high, the mountains of Ireland are nevertheless full of character and are actually often dusted with snow in the winter.
At 1,038m, Carrauntoohil is the highest point in Ireland; we don't have much in the way of high altitude but in the winter there is snow at 300m and above in many of the mountains for some of the year.
At the end of that beautiful hike in the mountains, after the day looked to have finished early with a snow-storm darkening the sky, this is the reward of a bright and colourful sunset.
Looking out from the snow-filled mountainside towards the sun as it passed across the horizon, there was the sound of silence save for the sound of our shutters, a gentle breeze and the call of some crows.
Join me, Panoramic Ireland, for a private photography landscape tour in the magic of Ireland's mountains, snow or no snow and suitable for all levels. Honestly, if I can climb it then so can you.
Find out more and feel free to ask me any questions.

The snow appears to be gone for the moment but while it lasted the landscapes of Ireland's mountains were transformed.
No doubt we will see more before the summer arrives.

Dublin is a great city for street photography, the small size and relaxed attitude of its inhabitants coupled with small cobbled streets and alleyways makes for many opportunities to photograph people on the Irish capital's streets.
Join me, Panoramic Ireland, to photograph the streets of Dublin on one of my photography workshops throughout the year.

Yesterday's bright sunshine in Dublin did a lot to dispel the myth that Ireland is miserably cold and wet and dull in the winter.

Many of our winter days are bright and sunny, often cold but don't let anyone put you off the idea of visiting and planning a visit to Dublin in winter, hotel rooms are cheaper, there are fewer tourists and we do have decent weather.
