Schönen Dank, Ko! Ja, das Tor zur Hölle, glaubte man im Mittelalter! Gegenlicht, die Wolken haben die direkte Sonne zum Glück etwas verdeckt.

A vast and desert-like landscape, with a couple of impressive looking mountains in the background bathed in hazy sunshine. The sky and clouds are magnificent.

A beautiful capture Gudrun..!!

Das könnte auch gemalt sein...von einem tollen Künstler allerdings...wie einsam das dort sein muss!

Gudrun ^club has replied to Tanja - Loughcrew ^club

Schönen Dank, Tanja! Das Gegenlicht hat beim "Malen" geholfen! Ja, das kann da sehr einsam sein, früher, als man nur zu Pferd reiste, noch viel mehr als heute. Die Piste war gefürchtet, man glaubte, dass da böse Geister ihr Unwesen trieben....
