Altnagaighera. From here, eternity does not seem so far. You can spend a long hour staring at the dark green northern face of Doughruach. But it is vaguely disturbing, and suggestive of purgatory. Better to study the north Connemara coastline, and its several islands, and enormous beaches of south Mayo- splashes of heaven on a clear day. Altnagaighera, though no more than a pimple on the massif, gives an impression of exposure, just enough to drive off any hint of smugness. The whiff of danger adds piquancy to the Paul Henry merging of sky sea and land. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/347/comment/2573/
