About the photograph - Sky Road View

There is a wonderful loop drive when you head west from Clifden, called the Sky Road that takes you up along the hills overlooking Clifden Bay and any time I’m near Clifden I grab a coffee and treat from Walsh’s Bakery and head up the Sky Road to just take it all in.
On this occasion I noticed a few Connemara Ponies in the nearby fields, with this particular pony moving very purposefully up the hill towards me searching for some nice grass among the gorse. What really caught my eye was the way in which the pony was very nicely highlighted by the afternoon sun and the stunning background of the Connemara coastline striped with shadows and highlights due to the passing clouds. I was delighted to have captured it.
