I saw this photo today and it all became quite clear. This is the cross on top of Mount Brandon, Dingle, Co. Kerry, Ireland. It seems it's been a tad cold and windy recently. Cross on top of Mount Brandon, Dingle, Co.Kerry ( photo / image / picture from Evil Roy's Garden )
Oh nasty!! Ireland seems to have been having the same weather as we in Scotland are experiencing. Roll on spring!!
No wonder the Irish are such a hearty group! I lived in upstate NY and had "lake effect snow" but nothing like that.
