The Mournes

This was the state of Slieve Donard the day I went up for the first time.

The Mountain literally trails off into the ocean

This is a view of the ocean as I leave the treeline

 

Josh and I.  As a side-note you can see 'snow' on the ground.
Thankfully my only experience with that wretched stuff this winter
has been up on this mountain.

Just a fun shot

Another shot of the view

In this shot you can get some sense of the wind up there.
According to the measurements that day gusts were getting up to 85 mph.
At points were were literally being blown while standing still
