Early Morning Light Photo

Photographer’s Note

Taken this morning after sunrise outside Killeavy old church.

Killeavy - CiII Sleibhe in Irish means the Church of the Mountain. The Church referred to was originally founded by St. Moninna in the sixth century. She had founded her first convent at Faughart but after leaving this in charge of St. Orbilia she retired to the foot of Slieve Guillon.

thanks for looking :)

This is the scene a poet would die for. I'm not sure what else to say. The ND grad did such a fantastic job of exposing the sky and landscape so well. the jet streams add fantastic lines in the sky as well. Just a top notch photo.

Hello Gary. I have added this as a favourite. It is stunning. So stunning I almost suspect it of not being real ;-) Would like to know what PP has been applied here.

One word... Incredible!

What a great composition. There's soo much to see in this picture! It's almost surrealistic, that beauty! Also wonderful covers and a nice sky!
What a good work these sunset pictures!
Really one of my favourites!
