Three or four minutes. That's all the light gave me. I was above Portmagee with the drone already up when a single break appeared in a solid wall of cloud, and a shaft of warm golden light dropped straight onto Bray Head. The moorland on top lit up like it was on fire while the Fogher Cliffs stayed in deep shadow. Behind the island, rain was falling over the mainland mountains, a grey curtain that made the warm headland glow even harder against it.
What gets me about this viewpoint is the contradiction. Bray Head in the foreground is all vertical dark slate and sea stacks being slowly taken apart by the Atlantic. Exposed, battered, raw. And then beyond it, Valentia opens out into gentle green farmland and quiet hedgerows before the Sound separates it from the mainland. Same island. You'd hardly know it.
I've photographed this headland many times over the years. Different seasons, different light, slightly different positions. But this particular morning the weather handed me something I hadn't seen before. Five minutes either side and the whole scene was flat again. That's the Kerry coast for you!
