Gougane Barra at Sunrise

Gougane Barra, where the River Lee rises and the location of a monastery Saint Finbarr built in the 6th century. A modern chapel, called St Finbarr’s Oratory dates back to 1903.

The image above is a HDR panorama of 9 photos merged together in Lightroom and is a result of a very early visit with Blarney Photography Club this morning. The spectacular light was totally worth getting up at 5am for!

The sun peeks out over Killaloe

Looking out over the River Shannon from the Balina side to the town of Killaloe on the west bank of the river.

Hmm, I do believe this is the first photo I have posted in Tipperary, and half the photo is in Co Clare!

Tied up at Dingle Harbour

Moments after the sun set over the Dingle Peninsula I went for a walk and captured this HDR panorama of Dingle Harbour from the pier there. The sky was mostly clear but there was a well placed cloud sitting just above the hills to catch the light of the already disappeared sun.
