Oak leaves

Went for a walk in Tomnafinogue Woods near Shillelagh, Co. Wicklow. A beautiful oak forest,
Tomnafinnoge Woods is the last surviving fragment of the great Oak Woods of Shillelagh, Co Wicklow, which once clothed the hills and valleys of south Wicklow. As early as 1444 these woods supplied timber for the construction of Kings College, Cambridge and later for Westminster Abbey, St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin and Trinity College, Dublin. In 1634, the woods were estimated to cover 'more than many thousand acres', but from then on they were heavily exploited especially for shipbuilding.
Under threat about twenty years ago it is now protected by the state and is a beautiful place to visit and walk.
It wasn't the best day for photographs and the pocket Canon I brought with me has developed the dreaded "lens error" so I took this one on my tablet.
