Behind the Image

As a tumultuous 2020 drew to a close I was once again home on Clare Island where we were subject to the last storm of the year. Despite the howling wind and being assaulted with hail storms on my way to this location, the incredible dramatic clouds in the sky, changing by the second, made for a captivating sight as huge waves rolled into the southern shore of the island. This small pier reaching out to the southeast seemed but a mere glimmer of shelter in this long exposure.
