Layer upon layer - looking North of Caha Mountains

While hiking the trail along the border between Co. Cork and Co. Kerry, I witnessed the landscape North of Caha Mountains being formed, layer upon layer, of alternating sunny spells and shadow casts. Far away, Knockanaskill Hill (Cnoc na nEascal) in the Dunkerron Mountains, reflects sunshine with its snowy slopes. Yet, where I was standing, a magnificent Spring day dominated.

Caha Mountains

While hiking a trail along the Caha Mountains, following the border among Co. Cork and Co. Kerry, and in an absolutely wonderfull Spring day, I was truly grateful for the all-around scenic landscapes I found myself into. Along the trail, I witnessed many unique landscapes, composed by hills and mountains, valleys, lakes, rivers, soft patches of golden grassland, extensions of forests and bare dark rock walls. All merging together with different weather conditions, from sun filled valleys to storm clouds over mountain tops. All in the same day, all the same time, all around me, near and as far. Here, overlooking towards the Sheen Valley and Knocknamanagh mountain, a golden grassland turf spreads along the perspective and contrasts with the dark siltstone rocks.
