The mountains at Gougane Barra, County Cork, lit by low golden sunlight with mist and cloud wrapping around the peaks, bare birch trees and scrub along the base of the valley, brown reeds and grasses lining the shore of the almost still lake that reflects the warm mountain tones, and a small brown sign post visible on the far-left bank.
