"Sheep on the Road"
Sheep walking on the N71 route at the Killarney Natural Reserve (Cill Airne in Gaelic), County Kerry, January 2006.
This is a very common scene on the Irish roads, especially at the west side of the island. In fact, there is the occasional definition of an Irish traffic jam as being “any cow, sheep, tractor or milk truck in the way”!

"Magic Woodland"
Old tree from Slieve Bloom Natural Reserve’s woodland, County Offaly. October 2005.The Slieve Bloom Mountains are a magic area full of woodlands, rivers, little cricks, waterfalls and small quiet towns.The moss invades the landscape, covering the centenary trees’ trunks. The vegetation in parts is so dense that it is very hard for the sun’s rays to pass through it, creating a magical atmosphere.If there is any truth in the stories that fairies, leprechauns and the rest of the characters of the Irish mythology exist, they are not going to be far away from the Slieve Bloom Mountains.

"At the End of the Rainbow"Main Street in Innishannon (Inis Eonaín in Gaelic), County Cork, August 2005.
In Ireland, it rains an average of 280 days per year; therefore it is not unusual to see rainbows almost everyday. Just on a few occasions and especially in the south of the island, you can see the rare phenomenon of double rainbows like the one you can see in this picture. And sometimes the gold at the end of the rainbow is of a more liquid nature!
