====== THANKS FOR VISITING AND COMMENTS ! ======
Earnest from Oklahoma, United States
It must be difficult when the wind blows there. A wonderful capture.

@Earnest: I think there is always wind, much rain, an often a chill. Thanks.
@Ina: Thank you for comment and visiting.
@Zorilla: No, in Ireland. [In Holland we call a hill (of 300 mtrs) a mountain !!! And that's the maximum in Holland.]
@Veronelle: Thank you for visiting.
Wolfgang - vu@granby from Granby, Québec, Canada
Quite different from Kaatsheuvel, isn't it? A beautiful wild landscape, well presented.
16 Nov 2008 9:30pm
@Wolfgang - vu@granby: Very different. Holland is known as wet but ther ALL is wet and marshy. But indeed wild and beautiful green. Thanks for comment and visiting. See you.
Vinman from Clacton-on-Sea, United Kingdom
It had to be either Ireland or Scotland, it's a beautiful harsh landscape.
16 Nov 2008 9:52pm
@Vinman: Ireland is beautiful, but in some places WET, WET! I've seen about the same in the UK in the Moors and the Yorkshire Dales. I love it though! Thanks for visiting.
ninni from Belo Horizonte, Brazil
It looks like Minas Gerais where I live. Beautiful landscape!

@ninni: Is it as wet and marshy as there in Ireland? It is indeed a very beautiful landscape. Thank you. Bye.
@akarui: Thanks again. See you.
Margie from Auckland, New Zealand
Well they don't call it the Emerald Isle for nothing :)
I love Ireland, it reminds me a little of New Zealand in places. Nice shot. Thanks for your visit to my blog.

Alaukika from Pune, India
Suddenly the nature looks very friendly. You couldn't have gone wrong with this shot. If you can manage to take great shots the devil's backyard, then a good shot from the beautiful nature is not impossible.

@Alaukika: I love the contradiction between the 2 surroundings. Thanks for your friendly comment and your visit.
@Marie: Merci.
@Michael Skorulski: Thanks for comment and visit.

Paul from Netherlands
Buiten de mooie kleurtonen en het dito landschap is de zuigende werking richting de diepte erg groot en dat is knap werk Alphons! Gr. paul
17 Nov 2008 6:38pm
@Paul: Leuk dat je dat ziet van het perspectief. De zuigende werking van de moerasgrond was daarnaast ook nog erg groot. Dus: natte voeten. gr. Alphons
Kyle from Manhattan KS, United States
How beautiful and yes, very green. Looks a bit like Scotland!
17 Nov 2008 6:42pm
@Kyle: Indeed it's very "Scottish", as wet even so.
Thanks for visiting.

djedfre from schaumburg, United States
wow! looks like a much older eruption that's had plenty of time to 'mend'...
19 Nov 2008 10:24pm
@djedfre: Yes, it looked so to me. But i think there were no volcano's in Ireland, or..?
Thanks.
shoti from Everywhere in the, Philippines
nice shot.. the landscape is beautiful.. but I think it would be better if the sky is not overexposed.. I prefer blue:D just some constructive criticism:D
20 Nov 2008 9:40am
@shoti: I agree with your remarks. But don't know how to make it better, yhen alone painting it in Photoshop. Thanks for your criticism and visit. Bye.
