Landscapes here in the west of Ireland can be dominated by grey, particularly in the winter months.
But the clouds can break to reveal those extra browns and greens.
And if you are lucky the sun will break through, and the clouds will play shadows with the ground.
And if you are near water you will get those amazing cloud reflections, as lake water doubles up as sky.
Beautiful landscapes in Ireland, in winter, under clouds or sun… Love this set of landscape captures. Thank you, MM!

Taking photographs in Winter is a challenge . I love the way you captured light in so many different ways. The greens breaking through and the reflections are my favourites.
