A vertical landscape shot of the ancient stone monastic site at Glendalough, Ireland. In the lower right, a grey stone church with a steep gabled roof and a small integrated round tower stands amongst green grass. A steep hillside rises behind it, covered in a mix of dark green coniferous trees and patches of golden-brown deciduous trees. Wisps of white mist cling to the top of the ridge under a soft, overcast sky. The overall mood is peaceful, historic, and slightly moody.

The iconic "St Kevin's Kitchen" at Glendalough (though it's not a kitchen, it’s a 12th-century church).

A landscape photograph taken from the shore of a lake, looking down a U-shaped valley. In the foreground, the calm water is a steel-blue colour. On the right, a dense, dark green pine forest covers the hillside. On the left and centre, the mountains are rugged and rocky, covered in brown bracken and grey scree slopes. A thin, white waterfall trickles down the distant rock face. The scene is framed at the top by out-of-focus, bare tree branches against an overcast, white sky.

The Upper Lake in Glendalough. This view never gets old! 🌲
