About the photograph - Early morning on Ballynakill Lough

Ballynakill Lough is a very picturesque lake located between Cleggan and Letterfrack. I've passed it many times on my visits to Connemara, but I hadn't seen it look so spectacular as I did on this wonderfully calm Spring morning. I was returning to base from an unproductive sunrise shoot at a different location when I spotted this scene. While I'm not the best at very early mornings, I was definitely rewarded for the early start. Perhaps it was the universe feeling sorry for me as the planned shoot didn't work out. But one thing is for sure, every time I look at this photograph I am reminded that even though it wasn't what was planned for the morning, never stop looking even in places that you think you know.
