Derryclare




This is you Scenic Sunday image.

The image shows Derryclare Mountain and The Twelve Pins Mountains range also. This view can be seen when you drive along the R344 between Recess and Kylemore Abbey in the heart of Connemara. You can see the road in the image along with a small bridge over the river with flows into Derryclare Lough. I had to wait a while for the clouds to break after a short bit of rain. This made for interesting shadows on the tops of the mountains.

  1. Beautiful - the shadows on the mountains are very atmospheric. Has the old bridge been closed and replaced?

  5. Such an interesting photo. I see the compositional intent, creek to bridge to mountain tops. And you did catch those clouds and shadows on the mountain tops quite well.
