Hi John, I've just viewed your photos. They are absolutely incredible. Just gorgeous, and you also have an excellent eye not just for beauty and creativity, but for composition. Some of my Irish ancestors were from Mallow, so the Cork area pictures were especially exciting for me. But others were from New Ross/Waterford area, so loved seeing those too. And where is Carrantonhill? I knew it could get cold in Ireland, but didn't realize there could be snow like that. Great work. Thanks for sharing AliceRevilleTomlin@gmail.com

Dear John, Thank you for sending the link for your fantastic photos. You are an excellent photographer and I really enjoyed seeing all the incredible photos. Beannachtai, Margaret (Máiread)

Thanks Alice. Much appreciated. Carrauntoohill is Ireland's highest mountain - 3,414 feet - and is in County Kerry in the South West. Not to be confused with the town of Carrigtwohill which is 11 miles east of Cork City and is where I live. We rarely get snow in Ireland and when we do it generally lasts for just a week or so. I was lucky in getting into the mountains a few years ago when the snow was on them and was able to take those photos.
