One can always tell when Mr. French had to get to someplace difficult or awkward, he used the smaller "cabinet" sized camera and slides! This beautiful scene taken on the slopes of Slieve Donard overlooking Newcastle and that beautiful bay must have felt well worth the climb for him as he stood and took in the view!

It must be the Newcastle River. The stream going past the quarry is too small, and you can't see into Newcastle from it. I guess that would put this just below the ice house, about here: maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,736371,829544,10,7

Incidentally, a quick check of the lyrics against the 1901 census reveals that the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to Warrenpoint.

So which version of the 'Mountains of Mourne' is best? I checked several on YouTube, and think Don Maclean's is very fine - youtu.be/y_qBl8wOiX8

So I'll wait for the wild rose that's waiting for me Where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the lough.

That is a gorgeous scene, and the scene would make a superb painting too.
