Monastic ruins at Glendalough
Reflections: A Day at Glendalough, County Wicklow, Ireland - 3rd November 2007
The day after Iz's birthday, Nosher, Iz and Noddy head over in the hire car to Glendalough - about 45 minutes away in County Wicklow, south of Dublin. Apart from the hordes of tourists, it's a peaceful spot, featuring monastic ruins and a couple of placid lakes. The colours are excellent, thanks to the autumnal trees covering the surrounding hills.

Autumn trees and a monks' tower
Someone has left a sprig of holly in the ruins of a priest's house
A carpet of fallen leaves provides vivid autumn colours
Iz strides about like a proper hiker and everything
Mushrooms in the undergrowth
A thicket of stripling trees
Glendalough
Gorgeous autumn reflections in the waters of Glendalough
Isobel waits for a sausage-in-a-roll
A curiously-specific fine
In Dublin Bay, Blackrock, walkers cross the muds
Noddy, Oscar and Isobel on the seafront at Blackrock
Horses wait for a gallop on the mudflats of Dublin Bay
Trotting across the sands
Oscar watches the sea
Horses on The muds of Dublin Bay
A pleasant sunset view out of the aeroplane window
High clouds backlit by the setting sun
The plane's propellor in the sunset
