Darkness is upon us, the rainy season in Ireland has began. That means I have the time to go though my thousands and thousands of photographs. h a p p y
I already had a chance to see quite a few places in Ireland. West of Ireland is the most impressive and the most iconic: cliffs, green hills and pastures, herds of sheep, busy pubs and hundreds of B&Bs.
But there is no need to travel for 5 hours to be impressed by Ireland. A few weekends ago I was surprised by Wicklow Mountains National Park, just an hour away by car. Hills, waterfalls, and quietness.
Thirty minutes away from the center are beaches for wind surfing, kite surfing and other water sports. Luckily for adrenaline junkies, wind is not a rare commodity on this island. Indeed, the north and west coasts of Ireland are two of the windiest areas in Europe. Not only the winters are mild in Ireland, but palm trees grow in this country. Yes, palm trees! I would prefer the other side effect of the gulf streams - slightly more of that warm water from Gulf of Mexico to the shores of Ireland. I cannot imagine ever entering the waters here :(
But why I am still talking? Let's look! Ireland's map with links to my pictures or the album itself.
