Mount Stewart Surprise


Mount Stewart Surprise

This tropical scene is not located somewhere in South America, but is found north of Belfast, Northern Ireland, in the gardens at Mount Stewart House. Today I cropped the image to focus on the palm tree, which was one of the many things I hadn't expected to see in Northern Ireland. I was also amazed by the beauty of the manor house and gardens, which seemed to provide a surprise at every turn. One of the best things about travel is that it reminds you that life is full of surprises.
