Denizen of the Bog The 12 Pins A rainbow straddles Lough Inagh

A rainbow straddles Lough Inagh

The expected morning bustle replaced by a still and quiet world

as the rain fills the river that flows to the lake that feeds that clouds that fills the river that flows to the lake

Pollacappul Lough in Connemara and a lovely summer's day

revealing a vertical land of deep gullies and rain-slicked curves

Denizen of the Bog The 12 Pins A rainbow straddles Lough InaghUnder the grey sky of a Connemara afternoon, a solitary figure claims the high ground. Perched upon a throne of rock, there is no heraldry here, only the dignity of a creature woven into the very fabric of the landscape. As the soft rain blurs the line between the distant hills and the heavy clouds the lone denizen remains unmoved, watchful, and entirely at home in the beautiful desolation.
