Mweelrea from the Inagh Valley, Co. GalwayMweelrea sits at the far end of this view, Mayo's highest peak just visible beyond miles of open Connemara moorland. I was driving the Inagh Valley road late in the afternoon when the sun dropped low enough to throw warm light across the foreground heather while the mountain darkened against a heavy sky. That contrast is what made me pull over. The valley floor here is broad and flat, scattered with a few stubborn trees that break up the moorland.
