A bit of an Easter vibe to this photo of the sun behind the misty cloud beside the Barnavave Cross on the Cooley mountains this morning.

A fab sail today around Carlingford Lough. Lovely to see all the boats from CLYC Killowen out on the water and spotted a few from Carlingford Marina as well.

🎹 Will you go, lassie, go

Slieve Foye and the Cooley and Mourne mountains with a touch of their winter coat from last week’s snow flurries.

Reaching for the moon at Barnavave Cross on the Cooley mountains this evening. A lovely hike up this evening to capture the waxing gibbous moon as it rose over Barnavave mountain. Fun times getting alignment with my willing participant !

Morning light at the deserted village above Carlingford on the Cooley mountains - some lovely light and lots of sheep.

Not a lot of sunshine but some beautiful light, rolling mist and lots of sheep on the turf road this morning.

I was hiking on the Cooley mountains this morning and noticed the misty sun. I thought that if I got into the right position the sun and the clouds might play ball to capture the sun behind the Barnavave Cross. My luck was in ❤️

Heard a cuckoo today in Cooley!! We've lived here for 18 years and I've only ever heard it once before in the Sperrin mountains, so I was so excited to hear it! 🥹 Beautiful!! 💛

Moonrise this evening from Slieve Foye looking towards Barnavave mountain and cross from about 1km away. It was amazing the way the cloud cleared. 30 minutes before this photo was taken you couldn’t see the mountain let alone the cross.

Slim, shady, and stealing the spotlight - the crescent moon about to disappear behind the Cooley mountains with Venus looking on.

📍Greencastle, Co. Down

What a setting for a castle, framed by the mountains and the sea as local horses graze oblivious to the scenery around them.
