A large chunk of ice from Portage Glacier sits all alone along the shore of Portage Lake. The murky, silty lake almost seems to mirror the foggy sky above.
We rejoin Mr. French on his sojourn in Kerry though a further south in this case in Waterville. Holy Island sounds like a great place to sit in the ruins in quiet contemplation?
Thanks all for confirmation of the location (Church Island of Lough Currane) and subject (the monastic cell of Saint Finan of Lindisfarne)....

"Solitude vivifies; isolation kills." Joseph Roux
I feel like I'm in my most productive photography period ever, the past few weeks have been incredible and everyday I'm dedicating time to working on my technique and knowledge to become better. I'm not even close to where I want to be, but I feel as if I'm progressing and improving. At times last year on my Project 52 taking photographs became a chore as I felt pressure to finish it, now it's something I just have to do, I've fallen in love with it again...
Ever since I took my first Water Droplet shot last year I've wanted to improve on it. This is my second try and I'm pleased that it's a definite improvement on my first attempt...

The view into the lightwell, from the window in my front cellar. Currently featuring Trailing Bellflower, Pink Saxifrage and Hart's Tongue Fern (not pictured).

The task is to explore the house, inside and out, finding new ways of looking at the familiar things that surround me every day, and literally shedding new light on them - hopefully producing a worthwhile photograph.
Might not be one every day, but we'll see.
Whilst walking around Whipsnade Zoo we came across this tree isolated on the hill top looking over the valley. The image is a bit of an experiment with Lightroom4 as I played around a lot with the levels, highlights and the shadows to give it more presence but turned down the clarity to blend the sky a bit nearer the horizon.
I have now set up a Facebook page to showcase some of my work so if you fancy a look please click on the link below and if you like what you see please Like the page. Thanks very much.
