Dawn from the hotel window

5.50am, the light woke me up and I grabbed the camera for a shot of an incredibly still dawn with the warm light spilling over the view. Absolute silence, bar some birdsong, with the hotel window open. Fabulous.

Great picture. You are lucky - your hotel window was in just the right spot.

A gorgeous sight to wake up to with the lovely warm colors.  Beautiful.

Gorgeous!  Where was this?

The Islander's Rest, Sherkin Island, County Cork, Ireland. Not sure I should say really, as its still a relatively undiscovered but stunningly beautiful part of the world. I've known the owner for over 30 years and its well worth a visit if you want to really get away from it all. I was there recently for the 40th anniversary of the owner's father's marine station where I used to work. A quite extraordinary place.

 

[i'm currently revamping my website but it will have several pages on it about Sherkin Island when finished. I'll try to put a link to some of the images when its live.]
