A GOLDEN MOMENT IN TIME

This was my last shot of the morning and its actually my fave image.

 

Just looking through my photos from the other morning, its astonishing how, in the space of an hour, the light changed constantly and so rapidly.

 

I have photographed this chap and his yacht several times now, as he moors on the River Bann which is another place I seem to haunt.

 

I was delighted to see him sailing round the headland, although he took his time getting into the position that I wanted him in as he sailed right up to the Skerries.

 

I thought to myself, if he has a camera I am going to spit chips because the island was positively heaving with birds.

 

Pity there wasn't any wind as having his sails up would have looked even better.

 

Beyond the Skerries there was actually a thick mist, which I rather liked as it softened the cliffs and made the light the focal point.

 

Mind, he could have made a teensy weeny detour and picked me up (we are actually on waving terms), as I would have loved to see the Skerries up close.

 

Think I will have to send him a message in a bottle and float it on the River Bann!!
