Ireland Rocks When the Sun Shines

There's no where more beautiful than Ireland when the sun shines. We're finally getting some perfect autumn weather with clear blue skies and sunshine.
This is a view from Slieve Gullion in South Armagh, a mountain steeped in myth and legend, with a lake at the summit (which I have yet to see). There are spectacular views on the drive down the mountainside although bad planning has led to a lot of insensitive building on the plain below.
