A Wicklow Seascape | The sun has just crested the horizon sending its warm golden light down to Naylor’s Cove in Bray, Co. Wicklow. The 2nd image from my recent visit to this location, this one being just after sunrise.
A Wicklow Seascape | Here’s the 1st image from my recent trip to Bray Head in Wicklow. As a new day starts the sun slowly begins to warm the skies, yet there’s not enough light yet to warm the cool sea and the cliffs are left as a silhouette.
A Dublin Seascape | Sunrise at Howth Head, Dublin looking out to sea with soft morning light falling on the cliffs and Baily Lighthouse, taken in January 2010.
A Dublin Seascape | The very last image shot in 2012, taken in Whiterock Bay in Dalkey, Dublin. A brief break in the cloud allows the dawn sun to send its golden light down across Whiterock Bay while the sea continues to trash the rocks and beach.
An Antrim Seascape | As the Sun sets in a cloudless sky upon the North coast of Antrim it sends it’s golden glow upon the rocks of the ancient Giants Causeway.
A Donegal Seascape. I had not planned to get up for sunrise this morning as the forecast was pretty bleak. Yea I know why would I ever listen to a weather forecast! I guess though that something in me made me get out of bed just as the sun was about to rise and when I saw the potential I grabbed my bag and ran. I mean that literally. I had no time to spare.
A Wicklow Panoramic | As the sun rises on a new day in the Wicklow mountains the moon begins its slow decent. The Sun was just peaking above the mountains out of frame left and that soft light was just kissing the peaks of the mountains giving them this amazing soft pink glow.
The sun slips behind a small cloud as it rises, casting a cool light upon the sea and brings a new day to Howth in Dublin in Ireland. It was just over a year ago when this image was taken, July 3rd, 2010 to be exact. I remember it so well as it was during one of the most magnificent sunrises I witnessed last year.
A friend and I decided to take a trip down to Hook Head Lighthouse in Wexford to capture a Sunset and Sunrise combo. We’d packed the tent and sleeping bags and even though the weather didn’t promise much we jumped into the car and took the 2.5hr drive.
So this week has been all about Lough Tay and the surrounding area and it continues with today’s post. I kicked this series off on Monday with an image entitled The Fence and the Field. In that post I mentioned that it was one of two images I captured in that location. Today I present…
On Tuesday I spoke about my weekend trip to Lough Tay in the Wicklow Mountains and today I will continue with another image from that trip. After I had finished up at the top of the mountain I began to work my way back down. Some of these valleys don’t see sunlight for more then an hour after sunrise.
As I was driving the clouds began to part and I felt my spirits lift. Once I turned of the main roads and started to head up the mountain side the temperatures began to plummet also and it wasn’t long before I was driving on frost covered roads – oh joy! I spent the time during actual sunrise down near Lough Tay and then headed up to this spot, about a 10min drive, once the sun started to crest the mountains.
