Powdery landscape
A freshly snow landscape, only marked by a nightly wild hare (and some backcountry skiers on the right) serve as the foreground of a view of the Pennine Alps, with Catogne peak in prominence.

Val de Bagnes
Between Mont Fort and Mont Gelé to the North and the multiple peaks of the massif of the Grand Combin to the South, this deep valley is now fully plunged in Winter mode.

Winter dressing
Leaving the landscape almost monochromatic, the higher altitude forests are now full dressed in snow.

And so, they ski
A fresh and fluffy mountain coating, where before stood grassland, invites those that like the more powdery tree lines, away from the official slopes.

Last of Autumn
The landscape tells the tale of how Autumn is nearly defeated by the heaviness of Winter.

Winter meets Autumn
With the deciduous trees still dressed in their Autumn colours, a heavy snowfall marks the beginning of Winter.

Framed Winter Sun
Along a short climb to Corbetta, the Winter Sun frames itself with the local deciduous trees.

There´s a storm coming in
Off coast, a small fishing boat knows it and prepares to confront it.

Winter arrives at Kerry
The sudden moment when Winter decides that time has come to impose itself all over your landscape. Purple Mountain (An Sliabh Corcra) doesn´t seem so glorious now that the weather descends upon it.

Lady Bantry’s Lookout
Following a trail that climbs from Glengarriff´s Nature Reserve, one emerges from the forest into a hill overlooking Bantry´s Bay. Here, in Lady Bantry´s Lookout, a bench is provided for any walker to rest upon a magnificent view over this bay. However, I was far more interested in the landscape that I left behind me. The valley, covered by a dark and dense forest, is guarded by the Caha Mountains. Winds, relentless where I was standing, didn´t seem to harass the tree line at lower altitude. Bursting with recent rains, several water falls ripped the cliffs and created their own mist. The typical green tones were now bright golden, with the vegetation burnt by previous days´ snow. Truly, a landscape of contrasts.

An amazing colour palette
On the northern edge of County Cork, just before arriving to Glengarriff village, one can witness a magnificent view of the Eastern side of the Beara Peninsula. Prominent over the landscape, the Sugar Loaf Mountain stands at mere 574m altitude. Yet, I do find the name quite provocative. It seems I´ll have to return here in snowy days to see if this mountain stands for its name.
In a day of gale winds close to the coastline, trekking and, particularly, photography were neither easy nor pleasurable. Yet, it was still very rewarding. The grasslands, burnt by last month´s snow, have now taken golden tones. In this moment, the Sun managed to shine through the clouds and revealed the most amazing turquoise waters in Bantry Bay. Together, they paired into an amazing colour palette.

Hungry Hill
At its northern coast, Bantry bay is enclosed by the Beara Peninsula. With a perspective from the opposite margin, a prominent shape steeply emerges from sea level and dominates the Peninsula, Hungry Hill (Cnoc Daod).

Sunset on a snowy hill
Bursting through winter skies, the remaining sunset light reflects on a freshly snowed hill top around Bantry Bay.
