North Atlantic Skyline - - Photographs from the west of Ireland (Galway, Mayo, Clare, Limerick, Roscommon and even Leitrim)

Does my bum look big in this ?

This boggy puddle sits about half way along the path to the top of Benbaun (Binn Bhán) in the Twelve Bens range in Connemara, at about a height of 450 metres (that's the Maumturks that you can see in the distance). When we climbed the mountain last month, it was nearly 30 degrees, and it nearly killed me. On the way down, we stopped by the little 'lake' for a break. The sun had warmed it so that even splashing some of its water on my face hardly cooled me down. It did however impart a certain je ne sais quoi for the rest of the descent. Actually, I do know what it was - eau de sheep's pee - and it's this year's killer scent with the ladies, or your money back.
