Up On The Hills (Slieve Gallion Region)

Took a few images from up on the mountains on the west side of Slieve Gallion on Sunday where Jonathan Bingham and I spent the afternoon taking images. Here's a few looking down the narrow twisting roads to the low land areas below which were covered in light fog.

Very nice Martin, very dramatic scenario. The second one is my fave, the lead in works extremely well, and the misty/fog shows up better.

Thanks very much John, I like the 2nd one best myself.

Great photos Martin, I love the way the road leads away from the photographer and disappears over the hill. No. 2 my fave as well although i like the one with the sheep too.  Thats a great spot to watch for incoming storms in the summer too 

[martinastro]

Thanks Paul, you figured me out very quickly  - I do plan to be watching storms from up there in the Spring/Summer.

Looks like a very sharp drop there,Martin.  Is that JB leaning on the fence ? There such lovely colours too, and a  great vantage point, not sure I'd like to drive down though (vertigo )

[martinastro]

Thanks Mark and John, that guy leaning on the fence was a local farmer, don't know his name. Great height up there and excellent for photography, It would be a good place for snow photo opps but I don't think I would get the car up there in those conditions.

Lovely shots Martin.
As John says I like the lead in and fine detail in the fog in number 2 also.
