Description
There are a great many loughs throughout Ireland, some in coastal areas and many others are inland lakes, each with their own geographic character and influence on local life.
Ireland is known as the Emerald Isle for good reason. Its forty shades of green are so because the land benefits from a lot of precipitation. That isn't to say that it simply rains a lot, but when it does it soaks into the land.
At one time some 20% of Ireland was covered in bogland and though only around 2000 sq km of this remain today, there is still more bogland in Ireland than any other European country. As well as bogland, there are a huge number of rivers, lakes and loughs throughout the country and these loughs have made their indelible mark on the local culture.

Lovely moment captured - Lovely light
::: sigh ::: Such breathtaking beauty! And I love the little boat moored behind the foliage in the foreground. Fantastic capture!
A grand and beautiful scene!
Beautiful lush colors, love the shadows and the lighting, the sky is quite dramatic. Love the composition with the boats in the for ground, the reflections, the pond. Very nice DOF. But the climatic sentence to this story is the rainbow, another dramatic feature. Beautiful POV and beautiful work, Danny.
