Hello again my lovelies, how are you all doing today? I haven't posted in a few days, but I have extra photos and videos to share with you today to make up for it, haha! This week back in September was beautiful. I had just got back from a week in England, where it still felt like Summer, but where I live in Ireland is quite a bit further north, and the difference in the seasons was quickly apparent. Autumn has always been my favourite time of year, and I was looking forward to witnessing it here.
I was busy with work and volunteering for the upcoming Disappear Here Film Fest, but I also made sure that I went on several long walks that week. I'm so glad I did, because the light was simply glorious. For those of you that don't know about the "Golden Hour" or "Magic Hour", it is the hour just after sunrise or just before sunset, when the sun is lower in the sky, and the light is so much softer. Where I live, the sun sets behind the hills, so depending on the time of year, some areas will still be limned with light, while others are in full shadow, and the effect can be quite striking. It was getting dark around 21:00 those days, and I had some lovely evening walks, watching the mist creep into the darkened valleys, while the sun still shone on the peaks.
Another day I walked all the way across the shore to the Castles and back. That day the sun was shining through the clouds in a way that was absolutely magical. The sunbeams glowing, and the light glimmering on the waves had me smiling away to myself like an idiot. Actually, I tend to have a big smile on my face almost constantly here. Every time I go out exploring I am struck with the beauty of this place anew, and it reaffirms my decision to live here.
