In the 10 days we toured Ireland, we experienced a wide variety of
changes in the sky, which contributed to constant shifts in lighting and
atmosphere. We learned that sun, blue skies and white clouds are not
always what you want to see. The images below illustrate that point.
I am always inspired to shoot landscape scenes where different regions of lighting are involved. It takes both patience and some luck to get what you want -- in the above case, luck was more of a factor.
This shot was another of my through-the-bus-window series. Yes, it eventually rained, but our spirits remained high.
My last example of how a rainy/foggy day adds to the mood of an image.

these are beautiful! the dark clouds add drama to this lovely countryside. the castle looks mysterious.
Great shots Stan. I like the not so blue sky more. Perhaps also something to do with the mood on the moment. The grey stone of the irish buildings blend in perfectly with this kind of sky. Well done.
Beautiful series and that's why it's so green in Ireland. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
beautiful! Cloaked in foggy mystery!
Thank you all for visiting and commenting favorably! I am pleased to have gotten these images despite being rushed along in the tour group --
