About the photograph - Lough Leane sunset

 

 

Spending an entire week in Killarney is a wonderful experience at the best of times, but spending a week during a heatwave is extra special.

 

I had scouted a number of locations around Killarney National Park, and I thought that this location on Lough Leane would be good for a sunset photograph. I'm glad to say that I wasn't wrong. I just love the incredible colours both in the sky and reflected on the lake, and the contrast of the silhouettes of the surrounding landscape and foreground rocks. Even the faded contrails provide diagonal lines in the scene, and upon reflection, remind me of how the modern world intrudes on  beautiful natural world. 

 

Lough Leane is located in Killarney National Park and is one of the three famous Lakes alongside Muckross Lake and Upper Lake. Follow the link for further information about Killarney National Park.
