Haha, the mountains and the sea! Wonderful thought, Niamh!!!
That is such an amazing photograph...
I am so tied to the land; I would love the sea but perhaps mainly as an asset of the land.
I am going to have to see that land. I remember one chess Grandmaster, Alex Baburin, he was from Dublin.

I work on the sea, but I prefer the mountains...so, do I really have to choose?

I feel nostalgic. I want to see sea badly, but there seem to be no chances for such a trip.
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.
You are never more than a few hours from the sea here in Ireland, and the country is full of mountains, many of which are close to the sea.Originally Posted by NikolaiI
My favourite spot is up in the cooley Mountains, looking out over the Irish sea and Carlingford loch as well. Some times you can glimpse the Isle of Man. Its where the Tain is Based.
Chess Grandmaster? I dont follow chess but Ireland is full of people who specialise in things like chess.
Here is a view from the cooleys looking across the countryside(curtisy of photobucket)

We English like the Sea and the mountains. Sea water runs through our viens and mountains forms our backbonesI was reading Agatha Christie's Autobiography in which she states:
When I visited the mountains for the first time, I also had a feeling similar to Agatha, but I liked them though they were not as good as I expected them to be.
But when I visited Sea, I liked it ten times better. One can feel the tides, it's like the sound of music. The coming and going of tides is like playing of Guitar or Piano or any musical instrument. I love Sea. I miss Sea! Heh, I want to live in the Sea. What if I would have been a Fish or a Mermaid? I wonder, wouldn't it have been great?
What about you guys? What do you like more, mountains or sea?

And what do you think Agatha Christie, the writer I quoted, was? French? Or had she no love for her backbones?We English like the Sea and the mountains. Sea water runs through our viens and mountains forms our backbones

The sea. Definitely.
I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
Waiting for a winter to be done.
Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
In all that I could never overcome?
I'll have to say mountains, because although I like looking at the sea, I don't like being in it. However, the sea and the mountains do look rather picturesque together.
I like that picture, Niamh. Nice living on mountains surrounded by sea but still one would be on the mountain, she/he wouldn't be able to feel sea-tides.
Hmmm. Proof?I am fallible because I am human

Well...one could sit at the foot of a mountain and also be by the edge of the sea.
