This week I have been bringing you images from a walk in Garryduff Woods on the edge of Cork City, which I still find difficult to believe. So here is the end of the walk featuring sleeves of bark, The Hound and the stream before we head back down to the exit gates.

End of the Walk
I hope you have enjoyed taking this walk with me through Garryduff Woods. Have a good weekend.

The pictures remind me of walks that I went on the last time I visited Tasmania.
Cork really does have some beautiful surrounds… do you provide your talent to the local tourism industry? Pictures like these make me want to visit, and looking at the other comments, it seems others feel the same way.

Ah, that moss-covered giant of a tree! I love these trees and feel so at home around them. I was lucky to discover a virgin spruce forest that also had a lot of moss coverage: http://beautyalongtheroad.wordpress.com/2013/12/29/untouched-for-centuries-a-virgin-spruce-forest/

Curious MM….what lens and what general settings do you use for the woods? If you don’t mind sharing??? 🙂

I had the tripod with me so used a once slow setting for the stream shots – about 1 second. with an aperture setting of f/13. For the other shots the speed would have been higher as there was more light and I used an f-stop of c.20 and speed of c.1/10 to 1/25. Some of the images were hand held – the bark sleeve for instance. Don’t know if that helps? I tend to use aperture priority and work from there – altering the ISO, aperture until I get a decent combination. IU was just using standard Canon EF-S 18-135mm lens, not the best but ok. Hope that helps. MM

The covering of moss is very impressive – I expect the Hound likes that under his feet.

Oh he sure does and when on the wall he can pretend he is taller than me. 😏

Well the wife is running up to Dublin, so it will be just me and The Hound, but we are taking part in a charity walk on Sunday with about 1,000 others and their dogs. Enjoy the weekend Dale and keep warm. MM 🍀

Beautiful pics. I just hope there are no Japanese Larch trees there, or if there are that they don’t have the disease that has afflicted Gougane Barra forest Park. They couldn’t contain the disease,so now the Park is closed for 6 months to fell thousands of trees in the hope of eradicating the disease!
