Our house at Rathnafishogue, close to the river Dereen. My father fly-fished for trout in this river. A stream ran in front of the trees in the foreground of the picture. There was a small plantation of resinous conifers and an orchard to the left of the house.
The Dereen in flood, submerging the 'stepping stones' by which it could be crossed on foot at the ford at the bottom of our lane. On the right of the picture is the (partly submerged) road leading to the Borough, down which Charlie Carroll would come to cross the 'stepping stones' when visiting us. At the top of the picture is the distinctive form of Eagle Hill, the highest point for many miles around.
The 'stepping stones' at the ford on the river Dereen, leading from our lane to the Borough road.
Looking down the Borough road towards the valley through which the river Dereen ran. Our house was in the trees in the middle of the picture, below the triangular field.
