Slieve Gallion is part of the Sperrin Mountain range, sitting along the road between Churchtown and Moneymore. This photograph was taken in the final month of autumn, when the landscape still holds its last traces of colour.
I was sifting through my photo collection, month by month and year by year. October 2024 has just stood out as the most colourful month in the past few years. I selected 40 of them and put them all here. It’s just a combination of beautiful varied weather and an autumn sky.
It snowed once in November this year. Slieve Gallion is a part of the Sperrin Mountains, near Moneymore, in the Mid-Ulster region.
Notice the rich colours in autumn mornings and evenings. In both images, you can see the warm cast.
Autumn is the time of the year when colourful leaves and weather show up, especially in the mornings and evenings. Coagh Riverside Park is a minimal riverside woodland; it takes just 5 minutes or so to walk around, but it is a lovely wood beside the large Ballinderry River, which heads out into Lough Neagh…
The autumn morning walk took place a day after a particularly heavy downpour on Sunday. The autumn season is a great time to go out, especially with its colourful weather and landscape.
Springhill, located on the edge of Moneymore, offers a delightfully colourful autumn walk. One of my favourite ‘sweet & short’ casual walks. There are plenty of intriguing footpaths to explore, as well as some fascinating trees and plants to view.
