Hidden Glen
19. Juni 2018 in Irland ⋅ ⛅ 50 °F
Went for a hike in a little glen that was completely isolated. It felt like hiking in a Jurassic forest.
Here's the glen once more, except serene, wise Russell seems to have disappeared, (and will someone please tell me that that IS a wall and not a rock formation?) while it is only upon close examination that Sarah and someone else are almost discernible, lurking as they are behind their separate trees. Anne and RIchard
This has got to be the most amazing and appropriate whole body and head shot of Russell. He stands absolutely still, aware of everything............ like a sage, who if we give him a moment for him to choose, will carefully,.... begin to speak. Anne and Richard
Sarah McCabeThe "walls" on the sides are limestone formations. The picture of the tree falling on to a wall really is a man-made wall, probably a couple hundred years old.
