Doo Lough Irish: Dúloch, meaning "Black Lake" is a freshwater lake in the west of Ireland. It is located in southwest County Mayo on the Murrisk peninsula.
Doo Lough measures about 4 km long and 1 km wide. It lies about 30 km southwest of Westport near the village of Delphi. The lake runs in a narrow northwest to southeast direction, and is overlooked by the long ridge of Ben Lugmore 2,635 ft, on its southwest shores, and by Barrclashcame 2,533 ft on its northeast shores. At its southeast head, lies the massif of Ben Gorm 2,297 ft.
A notable feature on its northwestern head it the deep corrie of Lug More or Irish Coum Dubh, from which the Glencullin River feeds into the neighboring Lough Glencullin the bottom of the corrie is also called the Glencullin valley. Surrounding the corrie is the long ridge of Ben Lugmore and its several subsidiary summits, Ben Lugmore East Top 2,592 ft, and Ben Lugmore West Top 2,592 ft; while cutting across the headwall (from bottom left to upper right), is grenn grassy feature known as The Ramp, which is used by climbers to gain the ridge of Ben Lugmore from the shores of Doo Lough.
This was one of many of my images of the dam, the light and the cloud base was constantly shifting, such a beautiful place and well worth a visit, hope you enjoy.
As you approach Pubil and Lubreoch, the glen is increasingly dominated by the massive Lubreoch Dam, whose construction in the 1950s created the five mile long Loch Lyon as part of a wider hydro-electric scheme. The head of Glen Lyon is an intriguing place, with the far end of the loch being only four miles from Bridge. These four Munro's Carn Gorm, Meall Garbh, Carn Mairg and Meall na Aighean are at the farthest end of Loch Lyon

This Ptarmigan as it views the latest snowfall in the Cairngorms is possibly thinking he was a touch premature in sporting summer plumage !
Rain on the way to Cairn Gorm. A look back at the Glen More and Meall Bhuachaille decorated with rainbow.

I had my first real hike of the year up and around the back of Meall Gorm. Fantastic day out - snow is all gone and the evenings are stretching out. Bliss.
In the Viking market this summer we have every year blot.
Blót is the term for "sacrifice" in Norse paganism. A blót could be dedicated to any of the Norse gods, the spirits of the land, and to ancestors. The sacrifice involved aspects of a sacramental meal or feast.

With my dog Bert out of action due to injury I could not take him on my last walk into the hills. I really missed his company and walking without him did not seem quite right.
Unfortunately it appears he will be out of action for some time to come.
The picture here shows Slioch in the top left along with Lochan Fada just below and Gorm Loch in the foreground.
Another stop at a familiar place on the trip to Assynt, this time the view to Stac Pollaidh from the north shore of Loch Lurgainn.
This image is available printed, framed or on a canvas here.
After gaining the upper plateau of Cairn Gorm, we can look down through the rocks of the coire as we refuel with some light snacks. A small lochan lies below us called Coire an Lochan with our starting point to the right and the town of Aviemore just visible beyond Loch Morlich in the distance.
Cairn Gorm, the mountain from which the Cairngorm mountain range gets its name, stands at 1245 meters (4085 feet) and is my 4th Munro of the season, my 27th in total. The hike (no bike this time) sees me covering a circuit of just over 7 miles and making an elevation gain of around 762 meters (2500 feet).
One of a reasonably large flock of Snow Buntings flitting around in the snow in the car park of the ski centre at Cairngorm Mountain last week. Despite the proximity of the confiding birds, the overcast sky made for poor photographic conditions. Happy New Year to all those that follow me, and thanks for your continued support, which is much appreciated.
