Hawthorn, Lough Brin
€121.95 – €691.06
A lone Hawthorn Tree is backlit by the rising sun on a very unique morning in June. I had been camping out on high ground the previous night and unexpectedly had a very cold night on the mountain as a bizarre front of cold air moved down across the country. Once it was light enough to come down I did and sat in my car warming up as the sun began to rise. I noticed that as a result of the cold air, the light was unusually crisp and clear for a summer morning. I lined up a composition with the tree shading the rising sun and marvelled as the light wrapped around it and made an otherwise difficult exposure work perfectly.
These trees are often left standing alone for superstitious reasons by farmers , especially near lying boulders, for fear of bringing a curse from the fairies on them !!
Lough Brin sits in a beautiful valley at foothills of the McGillycuddys Reeks mountains in Kerry.
