Monastic ruins at Glendalough
Reflections: A Day at Glendalough, County Wicklow, Ireland - 3rd November 2007
The day after Isobel's birthday, Nosher, Isobel 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.

Graves in an old chapel
A sprig of holly in the ruins of a priest's house
Close up holly
A monastic tower
A river runs through it
Isobel and Noddy stomp around
A carpet of fallen leaves provides vivid autumn colours
More autumn leaves
In the woods
Isobel interacts with a small puppy
A wooded valley
Isobel strides about like a proper hiker and everything
A placid lake
Isobel stands on the edge of the lake
Mushrooms in the undergrowth
A thicket of stripling trees
Glendalough
The lake and the woods are all red and browns
Autumn reflections in the water of Glendalough
More reflected trees
Isobel waits for a sausage-in-a-roll
Hot-dog time
A curiously-specific fine
There's some late gorse in flower
Isobel waves from a boardwalk
Monsatic towers
A view of the river, and monks' towers
In Dublin Bay at Blackrock, walkers cross the muds
Horses gather out on Dublin Bay mud flats
Noddy, Oscar and Isobel on the seafront at Blackrock
Someone roams the mud flats
Trotting across the sands
Oscar the dog
High clouds backlit by the setting sun
The plane's propellor in the sunset
