Wicklow Mountains Pastoral

The granite uplands south of Dublin. Sheep on the lower slopes, blanket bog and heather above, and a long line of drystone walls climbing as high as anyone bothered to take them. The pastoral country sits on the flanks of a mountain range that gets its colour from the weather more than from the season. The heather goes purple in August. The bracken goes copper in October. The rain comes sideways most days, which is why the green stays.
