Description
Benbulben is known as County Sligo's 'Table Mountain' and is part of the Dartry Mountains. Also known as Benbulbin, Ben Bulben or Binn Ghulbain, the iconic mountain is a large rock formation that is part of the Dartry Mountains. Mentioned often by the poet W. B. Yeats, it is in the area of Ireland known as "Yeats Country".
Benbulben is a protected geological site. It is also the setting of many Celtic legends. It is known as the dwelling of the Fianna, a band of 3rd century warriors. Folklore tells the story of the warrior Diarmuid being tricked into fighting an enchanted boar by the giant Finn McCool. The boar later kills the warrior by piercing his heart with its tusk. Most famously, the mountain is said to be Diarmuid and Gr�inne's final resting place.

Charlie, Great looking photo with amazing various colors of green throughout this great photo. Fantastic depth in this photo as the photo starts with a deep dark green grass coloring in the foreground and begins to ascend to a lighter green as it hits the mountain and it causes the viewer to climb up into the sky with this photo. Excellent photo, fav, voted, google and tweet promoted for CFC 3 link promo thread
