These are some spots on a lovly riverside, as you can see (and these are small excamples) people leave all their rubbish here, I have never seen more beercans littered everywhere, made me quite angry.

Looks like you had a great time - shame about the amount of litter tho. It seems that more and more people are going into the countryside to enjoy it, and once there, spoil the one thing that attracted them in the first place.

Brilliant photos, you must have really enjoyed view it was spectacular.

Amazing, even when you are really out of breath - sweaty - and your shoulder/traps hurt like a mother you still are amazed at the sheer beauty.
I really wish we had more time, every spot were I took a picture is worth to sit down cook a meal and enjoy the mood.

looks like you had sweet weather for it. wicklow is a beautiful place. but far too popular with tourists.
there is an insane amount of deer in wicklow. actually way too many. but they are beautiful creatures. nice one on capturing them on camera. i am too slow to photograph wildlife.

litter is part and parcel of the modern outdoors unfortunately. back in the northwest i pick up what i can. in wicklow i dont bother. i would need to bring a truck with me.

Just about to say that - did you have the guy from photo 1 for breakfast ? - and on the peat forest floor !

:D

I actually feelt bad for the little one, looked very confused, we saw just before a deer that was seem to be blind, so maybe that was the mother.
