Have you looked into the river

I had been walking with some friends in glendalough, they were blown away by it. Although they were tired I suggested that we also visit lough dan, specifically where lough dan meets the inchivore river.

They tagged along but almost halfheartedly having been somewhat overwhelmed by the valley of the two lakes (Glendalough). Jet lag also was seeming to get the better of them as we approached the beach. There was a lot of tired talk about  hotels and dinner and the cold. In an effort to get my companions to realize where the were I said 'Have you looked into the river'. The black water refecting the beautiful valley immediately had them in its thrall. We barely spoke again for a half hour, the main audio was the deep breaths of satisfaction and the gentle breeze. We watched as huge blue moon rose from behind the mountain and all the light turned pink. We only departed when we knew we needed what was left of the twilight to make our way back.
