Muckish Mountain

seen from Creeslough, Co. Donegal.

Muckish is a distinctive mountain in the Derryveagh Mountains of County Donegal, Ireland. At 667.1 metres (2,189 ft), it is the third-highest peak in the Derryveagh Mountains and the 163rd highest in Ireland.  Muckish is also the most northern and second highest of the mountain chain called the "Seven Sisters" by locals. The Seven Sisters are Muckish, Crocknalaragagh, Aghla Beg, Ardloughnabrackbaddy, Aghla More, Mackoght, and Errigal. (Info courtesy of Wikipedia)

  4. At first I read 6671 m and then I saw the decimal point! Curious that the height would be shown with such precision. I have never seen that before.

    1. Probably it was originally measured in feet, then converted to metres, hence the .1

  5. Hello, pretty view of the mountain. The Seven Sisters have some strange names.
    Happy Sunday, enjoy your day and new week.

  8. The sister with the ugly name. Not justified at all by what I can see in the photo.

    I love the beauty of the green against the mountain and the animals add their own special touch~

  11. Interesting names. I like the division of the two colors in the landscape.

  12. Hmmmm, it's a very forbidding looking place, compared to all of the green beauty below it. It looks pretty steep, too. If you go hiking there, I hope there is a more gradual incline path you can take, to get to the top.

  13. That's such a great picture. That dark mountain in the background really makes the green pop in the picture.

    Groet Kees.

  19. Ardloughnabrackbaddy. Now there's a mouthful! Muckish Mountain sounds easy by comparison. (Thank you for your kind comments on my Iceland pix. I appreciate them.)

  21. I wish we had some green around here. We have had an unusually dry spring ... and there's a lot of brown right now. Summer rain, anyone?
