Mourne Mountains Photo

Photographer’s Note

Mourne Mountains (often just called Mournes) are a mountain range in the south-east of Northern Ireland, not far from the frontier with Republic of Ireland. The highest point of Mourne Mountains (Slieve Donard, 850 metres) est is also the highest mountain in Northern Ireland. These wonderful wild mountains are a paradise for hillwalkers, they are numerous when the weather is nice. I was very lucky with the weather when I was there : I stayed 3 nights in the Mournes, I couldn't see a cloud and temperatures were very warm for Ireland (up to 25°C !).

This view was taken in the west of Mournes, on the road from Hilltown to Rostrevor. It is a stitch of 7 vertical photos in RAW format.

Hi,
Great shot. I like that you croped the sky, you make a great panorama shot. Great landscape and those cows are very good integrated in the image.
Good composition
All the best

Bonsoi Olivier,
Compte tenu de cette magnifique campagne irlandaise avec ses prairies verdoyantes et le troupeau de vaches. Une image très bucolique et rural.
Amitiés,
Charo

The touches of yellow from the gorse bushes make a big difference to this image, as does the presence of the cows who mostly are keeping their eye on you! :D The light is gentle, avoiding any hard shadows. The stitch is very well done
