I'm currently planning an early start tomorrow morning, working on recent landscape images for a client when I look out of the window to see the post-sunset sky ablaze with colour.

Summer in Ireland. It wasn't really tangible in 2015.

Most places in Ireland recorded a wetter, duller and colder summer (June, July and August) than usual.

This evening's image shows the level of water in the lake during a colourful and characterful sunset in the west of Ireland. Rainy at sunset, unlike this last sunset but with the same colours.

After a busy week I can now appreciate the crepuscles and with a rainy few days the sun finally made a brief appearance below the cloud base just before sunset in the west of Ireland.

The lower sky was illuminated with hues of orange and red while the top remained blue and evening-like both portions reflecting in the calm waters of the lake, windless and magical.

The sun has set on 2014 and we are now in 2015, Happy New Year!

Cliffs of Moher at Sunset

I previously wrote about my visit to Slieve League in County Donegal, the highest marine cliffs in Ireland, along with the Cliffs of Moher in County Clare are part of the Wild Atlantic Way that runs for 2,500km along Ireland's western seaboard.

Slive League Sunset - Mainland Ireland's Highest Marine Cliffs

On my recent odyssey along the coast of Ireland, I visited the magnificent cliffs at Slieve League in County Donegal, part of Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way.

Panoramic Ireland's photography experiences have proved to be very popular this summer and I am just back from a 10-day tour of Ireland's coastline with Linda K. from the USA.

Another tour of Connemara

After a few weeks of travelling (more to come on that) I am back in Ireland and led a photo tour in Connemara with MC from New Zealand last week.

The weather was fine, stormy at times and very windy in places but with plenty of cloud action to keep the skies interesting.

Panorama taken at sunset in the west of Ireland. This is one of many panoramic images of Ireland's West that I have been taking recently. In a previous post I explained what makes a panoramic image panoramic.
