Reichstag Berlin, September 2016
Finally. The sky breaks open. The sun pushes through thick layers of rain filled clouds at Carlingford Lough.
On Sunday I wanted to shoot the famous Mourne Mountains (famous for featuring prominently in Game of Thrones). Splendid sunshine in Dublin – what could go wrong?!
Well, this is Ireland; arriving a good hour later at the shores of Carlingford Lough, torrential rain had arrived too while a thick wall of fog veiled the mountains in its entirety.
It was devastating. There was nothing to see – literally zero!!! Mountains? Not here my friend! So I hid away in my car, annoyed at myself for not checking the weather forecast, now hoping for a miracle….. but this being Ireland, help was just around the corner: slowly but steadily the sky broke free as the wind pushed fog and clouds away, and with it those seemingly vanished Mourne Mountains presented themselves in their full beauty.
The shot below was taken during this process of nature’s force at work.
Lough Tay in the Wicklow Mountains National Park – also known as the Guinness Lake… with plenty of of phantasy it shapes like a pint of Guinness, though the northern coastline forms part of an estate in fact belonging to the Guinness family!
Shoot It Now
