Would have believed you if you said it was somewhere in Africa.
Snagged this for my desktop background, GRMA
Pine Island, if anyone is wondering.
Wow, gorgeous!
Breathtaking
For ages I thought this was where Dumbledore was buried, till I found out it was actually a similar place in Scotland. Stunning place. Great snap.
Been doing a bit’f Photoshop have we?
I’ve climbed Derryclare so many times that I’m starting to get traumatic flashbacks whenever I see it in photos.
For me this island with beautiful l Scots pine and various other native tree species and understory represents a sad tragedy.
This small island represents what large swathes of Connemara should look like. However because of the widespread sheep grazing allowed throughout the mountains the flora of this area is grazed to a nub of the biodiversity it should have. New saplings of native trees and plants are grazed into non-existence by sheep. The forestry that is actively promoted is not native, dense and depauperate in biodiversity. We really are poor stuards of our environment in Ireland, even of those places we should be especially careful of, I’m sorry to say.
Catfishing on the highest level🤣
One of my favourite places on the planet
Can you pitch a tent there and sleep overnight?
Paradise
Scots pines really are great trees. They grow into really crazy shapes if given enough time, giving them an almost Mediterranean quality.
Beautiful.
Man Island in Derryclare Lough. Also called Pine island, but the real name is man’s island.
