#Repost @tinyb00ts • • • It took its time but winter is finally here 😅 Love the drive to and from Donegal. Always amazed driving through Barnesmore Gap. It's something else in the snow, with fog rolling thick over the mountain. #ireland #irelandgram #ireland_travel #donegal #winter #winterishere #snowing #mountainpass #barnesmoregap #landscapephotography #ig_ireland #visual_heaven #earth_shotz #ig_countryside #fiftyshades_of_nature #marvelshots #landscape_captures #travelandlife #daily_ireland #throughthelens #discoverlandscape
