This is the second shot from my walk along the Sliabh Beagh Way around this time last year. This shot was taken near the Penal Cross at the top of the mountain as we started our descent backdown. As you can see – these are very gently rolling mountains – not as dramatic as craggy peaks, but with a beauty all their own regardless.

A few weeks ago I went for a hike with my parents along a stretch of the Sliabh Beagh Way in Co. Monaghan. This route runs through a range of rolling mountains on the border with Northern Ireland. I got a few shots along the way, but this one is my favourite.
