" On my Home Ground "

Hiya all! Im only getting a chance to tell you something about this pic now, as I had to head out early this morning and Im just back.

The view shows the beautiful village of Laragh in the middle distance and looking straight towards the monastic city of Glendalough.

The mountain on the left is Derrybawn. and on the right is Brockagh,Straight ahead is Camaderry and the large one at the very back is Lughnaquilla, which is the 2nd highest mountain in Ireland at 931m. Lugnaquilla is called after the God," Lugh [Lew] of the strong left arm ". Now I dont know why his left arm should be stronger than his right arm, but apparently he never got married and Im told there are only two types of men in this World, the man who says he dosent and the man who says he gave it up!!!! And no, Im not explaining that one to you!!

Anyway, this is a very unusual view as not many people have climbed this way. Im grateful to my friend Jim who knows all these amazing places. To me it is beautiful beyond words and I fill up every time I look at it. Its probably the history I share with this place.

Im really delighted that you like this snap as its just as I took it from the camera. With such beauty, why you would ever need to do anything to it.

Hope your weekend is super!!!!!

P@t.
