Wasn't too sure about reuploading old OC stuff but I'm really proud of this, and it took months to complete so here.

I can see for miles and miles ....... by Julie Via Flickr: A photo I took back in the summer of the parched grassland surrounding the trig point at the top of Slieve Coillte. The hill rises to a height of 268.5m above sea level with spectacular views of the Wicklow & Commeragh mountains, as well the Saltee Islands off the Wexford coast.

The uninhabited Saltee Islands off Ireland’s southeastern coast are a seabird paradise – a crucial breeding ground for fulmars, gannets, shags, kittiwakes, guillemots, razorbills and puffins, on a migration route
