I’ve been told you can see Wales from Ireland before on a clear day but never have been able to before. On my morning walk with my dog though I spotted them in the sunrise. Very cool I think. 😎
Happy New Year’s Eve everyone!

I moved to Wales recently – it’s a great spot, has an abundance of affordable housing and plenty of well paid job opportunities. Crisps arent as good sadly….
That’s awesome! In all my time hiking around Wicklow mountains I only ever saw them once. Very happy for you!
Where about is the photo taken from? Wicklow Town? Nice shot.

That’s very cool hi.

I took this one in January of this year. I was working just outside Wicklow Town. My camera didn’t do what I could see any justice.
And from the north coast where I grew up you can see Scottish ones!
Camera is between 45m and 52m altitude, though that may differ with refraction and other atmospheric density changes.
That’s based on the visibility of “Mynydd Gwaith”, the sliver of 446m hill second from right.
Its an interesting mirage line at the horizon, suggesting a hint of a temperature inversion too.
The PeakFinder app on phones, the https://heywhatsthat.com and https://www.udeuschle.de/panoramas/makepanoramas_en.htm websites, are all wonderful tools for helping to understand what’s seen past the local horizon.
Oh thats neat!
Thanks for sharing, I didn’t know you could see Wales from here
i MISS seeing this
Wow, I thought they were clouds and you were taking the mick! That’s cool!

My son and I were Mountain Biking in Wales a few years ago. We stopped at the end of a trail for a breather and met up with some English guys. We got into conversation and when asked where we were from told them “Ireland”. One of them replied “Oh my God. You came all the way from Ireland just to go Mountain Biking”? I casually raised my hand and pointed at the Wicklow Mountains which were clearly visible, and said “I live just there”. The reaction was hilarious. They genuinely did not know that you could see Ireland from Wales. Even a Welch guy who came along and joined in thought he’d been looking at the Isle of Man when he’d seen it before.
Rather oddly shaped clouds 🤨😂
The Welsh, a great bunch of lads. Who any day of these will discover how cool vowels are
Lovely
Can people in Wales see anywhere over here like that??
