Lough Tay, a photo from Wicklow, South

Photographer's Note

Here is a photo token on the R759 road between Sally Gap pass and Roundwood in the Wicklow Mountains. This is a view on one of the most beautiful place of Wicklow : the Lough Tay. It is a glacial lake bottom of Luggala, one of the highest mountains in county Wicklow (595 metres height). It is often said that the lake looks like a pint of Guinness, because of its dark water (like the irish stout) and the white sand beach on the northern side of the lake that looks like the foam of the famous irish beer ! The beach is artificial and is on a estate, Guinness estate, owned by a member of the Guinness family.

Bonjour Olivier,

On retrouve cette lumière particulière, mélange de zones ensoleillées et d'autres dans l'ombre de nuages menaçants.
La bande de sable ressort idéalement sur le vert et le bleu.

Howdy Olivier,

The view from the high road is ideal for this panorama of Lough Tay, the green landscaping and the huge mountain on the other side.

Thanks for sharing,
Cheers,
Ray

Bonjour Olivier,
wow, I see you have come back to your photos from Ireland. These are real treats fr the eyes. Amazing. This lake and this POV is my favourite in Wicklow. I have few photos from this spot on TE I think.
I like this white sand beach.
Great light here, fantastic final effect!
