Ireland by pictures

I'll post pictures of the beautiful south of ireland, first up is a lovely nature reserve less then a mile from where I live called the gearragh, it was created when the esb (that's ireland's electricity supply board) built a dam about 20 miles down river and and flooded what was an ancient oak Forrest, they created a walk that runs from one side to the other and all that's left of the old oak trees is stumps that peek out above the water.
On the day these pictures were taken they had recently drained the dam so the water was pretty low.
