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.

The west of Ireland is Panoramic Ireland's favourite part of Ireland, scenes such as this and a feeling of relaxation that only comes from the western seaboard.
