Sunset Over Mullins Hill

Mullins Sunset

I went to my parent’s house yesterday afternoon for lunch and while everyone else was watching Ireland’s ill-fated rugby match against France I slipped away to take a few photographs. I decided to go and visit an old haunt from my younger years, Mullins Hill, where I used to go wandering for hours. It’s a bleak little hill really, not much there other than rocks, ferns and gorse, but it has the most amazing panoramic views of Dublin and the Wicklow Mountains and it was perfect for teenage angsty dreaming.

    Good shot. Nice sky, moody..like the feeling after the rugby!

    I love Mullins Hill, it’s right behind us. Sometimes also called Roches Hill, I’m never sure which is the official name. I’ve some shots from recent years on Flickr, which includes a few taken on this hill. Nice gorse.

    How funny – I wonder if you ever ran into my husband on your travels. Of course, he wasn’t my husband back then. :)

    Hey John, I’ve also heard it called Telegraph Hill. I love it too.

    Hi Ann, considering how much time I spent up there, it’s very likely :)
