Autumn is almost over but this week Ireland has been treated to a riot of colour as fine, clear weather brought blue skies and golden light to highlight the myriad colours of the autumnal Irish countryside.

The Beauty of Sunset in Dublin

I often get asked what the weather is like in Dublin or in Ireland.

It's difficult to predict, the weather, but one thing is for sure - the weather here is a lot better than you might think, particularly for the photographer.

As the small stream makes its way from the open mountain, its source towards its destination - in this case to meet with a larger watercourse - a river, it flows through a small woodland of distinctive beauty.

At one point a sharp cut or cleft in the rock, allows the stream's fresh water to fall freely for a few feet or less than a metre as seen here.

Autumn, is there a more colourful time of year?

Here on a photography workshop we set out to find colourful woodlands and streams, here we found the perfect combination of both.
