Sunset sunlight on the Atlantic Ocean, Ireland

Bright and characterful sunset sunlight on Ireland's Atlantic Ocean.

This image comes from the western edge of the Emerald Isle as the late evening sunlight fades behind rain-bearing clouds to give dramatic lighting on the ocean's surface.

As we waited for the same sunlight to strike the Cliffs of Moher we turned our cameras toward the west and were not disappointed.

The sun then shone back on to the immensely scenic western edge of Ireland's landmass, see here: https://panoramicireland.com/photo-tours-blog/cliffs-of-moher-county-clare-wild-atlantic-way-ireland-majestic-landscape-photography

As you can see it was a beautiful evening and one which was markedly different from a previous visit to the Cliffs of Moher: https://panoramicireland.com/photo-tours-blog/sunset-photography-experience-cliffs-of-moher-ireland

That's the fun of photography in Ireland, you never know what the weather will give but it will always be interesting and quite likely challenging.
