Glenmacnass river valley
September 10th, 2009
One pleasant evening last month Darragh and I headed into the mountains to “do sunset”, as you do! It turned out to be a real treat.
The River by Twilight.
…the easterly light took on a cool quality, with a beautiful blue tone.
We had ear marked the location on a previous journey though the mountains, on an overcast day. Not 100 yards from the roaring violence of Glenmacnass waterfall, the Glenmacnass river seemed almost still. The evening air was warm, with a scent of a nearby barbeque lingering and boggy heather smells too. Nature was painting quite the scene for us. The water was richly peaty from the bog soil it passes through, creating a dark mirror-like surface to reflect the fluffy cloudfilled sky. As the sun went down the easterly light took on a cool quality, with a beautiful blue tone. When the sun approached the horizon the clouds became illuminated. Pinks, purples, oranges, amazing warm tones against the vivid mossy foreground. We stayed until the light completely disappeared and night’s curtain fell on the light performance. ‘Twas was a fantastic evening!
