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.
On September 6, the temperature reached 27 degrees Celsius, making it the warmest day of the year in Northern Ireland. This evening photo was taken with the Slieve Gallion mountain in the background.
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.
