Irish Mist

• 

  County Kerry

Ireland: always lush and green. Johnny Cash called it “40 Shades of Green”. Aye! The Emerald Isle.

With all the rain that falls it’s no wonder everything is green. Words like “clouds”, “mist”, “wind” and “rain” are common in daily weather forecasts. Do not expect to see the sun rise or set in Ireland.

On the hills above Dingle Bay in County Kerry I found this iconic shot — taken mid-morning in a heavy Irish mist.

Thought for the Day: You know its summer in Ireland when the rain gets warmer.
