The Twelve Bens or Twelve Pins (Irish Na Beanna Beola) is a mountain range in Connemara in the west of Ireland. This was actually shot through the window of the coach as we drove along. The scenery here is rugged but bite the back of your hand beautiful. The sky, landscape, reminds me of a J. M. W. Turner painting.
Breathtaking views from Ireland!
