A postcard from 'The Sky Road'

I can smell the sheeps :-)

Ha, ha Lothar, there were the odd sheep around here but not many. There were some thoroughbred horses to the left and right of us here though and some cattle too. It was more the salt air that one could smell. Thanks for the vist.

Cheers, Herb

Clear blue skies can be boring;-) A vista like this with ever changing light is much more enjoyable.

Thanks Gudrun -I must agree with you but I would like too, the chance of getting more deep blue skies on my shots, but we have what we have in weather and as you say, we make the most of that and learn to enjoy it too.

Cheers, Herb

Stacks of atmosphere Herb -very well caught

Thanks a lot Richard, I did in fact take some more striking weather shots than this of the same place but I always got those dreaded electricity or phone wires in. Not one of my best quality shots but as you say, 'stacks of atmosphere'.

Cheers, Herb

I was here in 2006 and I would have loved to have a bit more blue sky, but no, I had the same as here and it was August. I never found blue skies boring, never. Why do you want all the year Winter I would know :-(

Hi Daniela, its is good to rekindle old memories for you here. I must admit, living where I do in England, that I crave for clear blue skies without rarely seeing any. As you know too, this was rather average weather for this part of the world (We missed the two months of clear blue warm skies and weather during this rare Summer) and so, I had to make the most with what I had. Don't worry I have some better weather shots from here to show you too. Winter all year... no thanks!

Best Wishes, Herb

Wonderful this:)

Thanks so much Annemarie.

Regards, Herb

A sky to rug up inside in, Herb!

It sure was and weather to remind you how good it is to wander in days of warmth and clear skies. Glad you like it.

Cheers, Herb

This is a magical low-light image Herb..........full of atmosphere! I love the moody sky with just a few hints of colour, but lovely light. Excellent work.

Thanks a lot my friend. I saw this distant warm lighting reflected off cloud and sea and hoped that I could capture what I witnessed. I see from your words above that I managed it with you.

Cheers mate, Herb

I would feel very content to have a view like that Herb. Love the low light, it makes it very atmospheric....Rosa.

Hi Rosa, the views from here changed every minute with the lighting. This was just one of its moods. Glad you liked it.

Regards, Herb

Nice view from your cottage Herb .

Thanks Toz, actually this was just down the road a few metres but we saw roughly this from our big French Windows which we could sit in front of with our settee. Just watching the world change by the minute.

Cheers, Herb

A wonderful end of the day capture Herb I hope you enjoyed the evening

I am sure that we did Peter. The lighting changed here every few minutes it seemed.

Cheers, Herb

Hi Herb,

An ideal time for a holiday! I was wondering where you had gone...
It is always nice to come home with pictures like this, the real holiday!!

Best Wishes
Peter

Hi Peter, like you, I always take an awful lot of pictures and this two week trip to Irelands west coast provided a lot of reasons to just keep on snapping. What you are seeing here so far are only a small proportion of the first couple of days in the north. Glad you like them.

Cheers, Herb
