Inspired

Yesterday's great cloudscapes inspired me to see a vantage point to get a view of the countryside so I took a detour to the hill of Faughart (burial place of Robert the Bruce and associated with St Bridget) over looking south Armagh.
I've been lazy of late in regard to getting out and about with my camera. The weather certainly hasn't helped with a disappointing summer giving way to an equally damp and dull autumn. I've been busy doing other things and with Ireland still in the grips of recession, I'm finding it difficult to justify galivanting around using petrol while search for pictures.

There's few things in life as satisfying as seeing a dramatic skyscape towering over the land...this is a super shot Mairead, well balanced composition with the clouds dominating the sunlit green fields

A lovely pastoral scene - and still very green.

These past few windy days have rewarded us with skies like this. You have captured a quintessential rural landscape with fine colour contrast.

Very lush view, well worth a detour for this.

You have some big clouds towering over your little green fields there!
I know just what you mean about burning petrol in search of PaD - that's one of the reasons I bought my bike... :o)

Love this scene, I know what you mean about the petrol, we are using ours a lot less.

Fantastic patchwork of fields and a stunning sky. v

One thing the disappointing Summer brought you is still green grass in September! A very lovely landscape and a nice sky!V!
