Wow, that is a beautiful picture, just stunning. The tree almost looks like something vaguely tropical that I've seen on a trip to British Columbia (Canada) where there is a line of rainforest running north-south.
Thanks! Ireland is basically a cold rainforest, or was until the forests were cut down. This forest near us is one of the few wooded areas left, at least with trees a few centuries old.
I am a journalist living in rural Ireland, and have written for the American Conservative, the Dallas Morning News, Front Porch Republic and other publications. I interview elderly Irish about traditional ways of life, and write a weekly column about the Long Emergency for my local newspaper.
