Viewpoint

Seeing as Lough Gur impressed us so much the previous time (even though the weather wasn’t great) we decided to go back. I went up to the fairy village to take a few shots from the great vantage point. Here, as the sun moved through the sky, I attempted to capture an image of the sun staring through the trees. Before heading down to the lake, I walked down the path a bit to see if the sky looked nice down the path a little. I ended up taking a picture which looks quite nice.

Down by the Lakeside

Down at the lakeside, you could get a much better view of the setting sun beside the hill. The colours of the sun and sky provided great reflections on the lake water. I decided to make my way out on the water on some stepping stones. This gave me a better composition than back by the reeds as I was a few minutes earlier.
