This image was captured in early 2017 on a beautiful January morning, at Doo Lough Valley Co. Mayo. My inspiration came for this photo because of the time of the year, and the orientation of the valley, I was conscious of the fact the sun would be shining down the valley just as it rose above the horizon, giving a beautiful lit up sky over the valley as the sun was rising. I was very fortunate that all the elements just came together on this particular morning, presenting the striking scene in question.
