    The Spink, Glendalough

    The Gaelic version 'An Spinc' (anglicised to the Spink) literally means 'pointed hill' which I suppose is really an Irish way of saying 'mountain'.
    These are three from my recent visit to Glendalough (as featured in an earlier thread). This time, three on higher ground along the Spink trail.

    After a very steep ascent through thick forest this is the view looking East over the two lakes of Glendalough.

    Further along the trail and looking West.

    View eastwards from the top showing the Spink trail along the ridge.

    Nicely done, the third image is the best in terms of contrast and cloud rendering.

    Very nice set Neville, number 3 for me too. It has a very pleasing composition and the colours are really nice.

    Thank you to all. I spent a long time with no.3 before I was satisfied. I shall re-work 1 and 2 later today based on your input.
