When the Atlantic Catches Fire
The cold at Cappagh Beach the morning I made this photo was the sort that makes you question every life choice that led you to a dark car park before dawn. The sunrise wasn’t that great but shortly before we left, the sun cracked through a gap in the cloud and turned the entire Atlantic into molten gold, and suddenly the cold didn’t matter much.
I love how the backlight picks out a single breaking wave on the rocks mid-frame, giving the whole scene a focal point that isn’t the sun itself. Kerry mornings like this are why alarm clocks exist.

@donncha We’d been socked in all day and were about to give up when the sun came out and gave us this view. Somewhere on the Ring of Kerry. #Ireland #photography
@ArtGeek gorgeous rainbow! Wow!
I’d been trying to get a decent shot all week, and we had literally turned around and headed back to the bus when one of our group called me back. It was a double rainbow so bright you could reach out and touch it. I only did a little toning to bring up the shadows—it really was that bright and saturated.
