Chasing (a little) altitude

Okay, there’s not much of it in Ireland, but I continue to get up as high as I’m able to.  

I hit the woody peaks of Killarney National Park earlier in February, and have moved on at the tail end of the month to the bens and bogs (sometimes both at the same time, the verticals as soaked as the lowlands) of Connemara National Park.  

The reward is some lovely coastal views, broad sweeps of headland rolling greenly into surf.  Not gonna lie, though—I’m ready to get back to actual mountains in March.
