A swim at Glenveagh National Park
Irish landscape Photography : Nigel Borrington
Molly is our ten year old Golden Retriever and she just loves the water, here are some images of her as she was taking a swim the the lake at the Glenveagh National Park, Co. Donegal.
Glenveagh National Park
Glenveagh National Park is one of six national parks in Ireland. Situated in the Northwest of Co. Donegal, Glenveagh encompasses some 16,000 hectares in the heart of the Derryveagh Mountains. Such a great wilderness is the haunt of many interesting plants and animals. These lands were managed as a private deer forest before becoming a national park in 1975. With the completion of public facilities Glenveagh National Park was officially opened to the public in 1986.

These are great Nigel! I love the cloud contrasts and that big, wide river.
I think Molly must be part otter. She’s really far out in that first image! Good for her. 🙂 🙂 🙂

Nigel… I have a wonderful 15 moth old Golden Retriever named Oliver who loves to swim in the ocean (in the summer since it’s so cold around here this time of year!).

The water looks very cold, but it looks like Molly enjoyed it.

Molly’s great! Is that some kind of push-on ferry, Nigel?

Beautiful pictures. I almost didn’t notice the lovely scenery because I was busy looking at the gorgeous dog. 😀

Excellent shots, I esp enjoy the action shots with Molly splashing into the water.
My favorite though is the last one, such a dramatic shot and wonderful light in the clouds. Looks like it’d be just my kind of place to visit.
