An Irish Autumn: Weather and Light
September can be a changeable month here in Ireland. The summer has ended, autumn is here, but sometimes the month just doesn't know what weather to give us.
On a photography workshop in the west today that's exactly what we got: warm sunshine, hailstones, rain, cold winds, and blue sky. All in the space of a few hours.
A serenely scenic morning photographing at the lake at sunrise as the Sun rises over the small wooded island with its ruined tower reflecting in the calm waters.
You never know what you will get with a sunrise, the weather plays a big part in how a location will look and in this case it was worth the effort to make sunrise on this photography workshop.
May is one of the most scenic months in Ireland, woodlands are carpeted with the colour of bluebells.
The Irish bluebell, Hyacinthoides non-scripta, is found growing wild throughout the Irish countryside in April and May, along road sides in hedgerows, in forests and anywhere with a bit of shade.

Located deep within the widest of the nine Glens of Antrim, Glenariff, the lesser known of the falls on the section is Ess na Crub, which means Fall of the Hooves. This name refers to the thunderous roar of the falls even when there isn't much flow, it's incredibly easy to locate by its sound.
Glenariff comes from the Irish, Gleann Aireamh which means Valley of the Ploughman or Arable Valley. Each of Antrim's nine glens has a distinct feel and its own character and is an area well known to Panoramic Ireland.
