Laytown after Dawn, Co. Meath

This morning I happened to be in Laytown, Co. Meath and witnessed a beautiful sunrise on my way there. Not a typical scene for the east coast being so close to Drogheda and Dublin city. I sipped an americano as the sun burst the seams of the autumn dawn clouds.

This image of a peacock was taken during a recent visit to Fota Wildlife Park in Cork. Consider it a playful experiment in colour distortion. The result here is much more interesting than the original image ... which is entirely the point of the exercise.
