Some may find interesting the Jan. 15, 2002 image of Ireland from space taken by NASA's Modis Satellite. After the storms of North America and the bush fires of Australia, it looks very green indeed. If the detailed map is downloaded, most loughs can be found, and mountains such as Mourne and Wicklows certainly show up. http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/texis/gallery/newimggallery/+ktseo7z0/individualimages.html?DISPLAY_DATE=January+18%2C+2002 Tom Moffatt
