[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
County Sligo's beautiful scenery was an inspiration for Yeats, who is buried at Drumcliffe Churchyard, under loaf-shaped Benbulben Mountain.

The lakes of Sligo, with their still waters and wooded islands, are truly spectacular, and form a striking contrast to the county's rugged uplands.

Stephen, Masterful composition, excellent scene, and the light that breaks thorough on the homes in the distance is just great. Very well done!

I am envisioning myself across the river, and standing in the center of this magnificent landscape, when all of a sudden the sky opens her darkly clouded curtain, and the sunshine
suddenly embraces my form. Her touch is warm and stirs me, not to hurry, but to pause, to feel the life forces within, and to just, be...
Your beautiful photo inspires many of us as well to dream, and I thank you once again, for a fine contribution to our imaginations, and a perfect setting to do so.

Superb capture Stephen, I am really surprised how you always wet advantage of the different situations you get for your lanscapes. I find this kind of white and light skys very difficult to manage, and you did very well. I love the glowing vegetaion and the points crossing over the BG river line. Great!

Lovely countryside. Your composition is excellent, especially with the yellow toned plants in the foreground, this side of the water, and then the glow of sunshine brightening up the smal patch of hillside on the other side. Very beautiful scene. Thank you.

So pretty, looks like water iris, I had many in california!
