The wild west

This piece depicts a wild windy yet sunny day on the west coast of Ireland, (where I am from). In Ireland the weather can be beautiful (twice a year) but if you brave the coast you might get blown away. This is Knocknarea mountian seen from Rosses Point (County Sligo). People climb this mountain carrying a rock so the can leave it on Queen Meaves Carin (grave) on the top, visable from the other side.
