Wicklow

Heather blooms over the Wicklow Mountains in August 2005.

A quiet cove at the southern tip of Brittas Bay, with Mizen Head in the background. In a large print, the offshore windfarm can be made out on the horizon.

Made from almost the same spot as Midnight, Lough Tay, but several months previously, this image has a completely different character. I was drawn to the trees clinging to the walls of the gully. As I searched for a composition that worked, the sun rising over Djouce mountain (out of frame to the left) began to illuminate the crags of Luggala. The framing fell into place at that point, and the result is what you see here.
