Place de la Defense


Inspired by pictures of Mayo on Phil's site, I decided to revisit a few places in North Mayo and set off early on Saturday morning for a day's exploring. The light was flat and dull and, in my heart, I know most of the pictures that I took are, at best, ordinary. Early that morning, I had just driven out of my garage when I noticed the dawn sky so I had to stop for a picture. It's taken from Lough Atalia road, looking across at the Department of Defence offices in Renmore. As it turned out, the best shot I would take on Saturday was the one that I took 30 seconds into the journey. Life's like that.

That happens to me all the time too! It's the first or second shot that is the best.
A few days later after I've reviewed the day's shots again I usually find a few gems hidden away.
Lovely photo. That sky and reflection is stunning!

Nice shot! While the blue at the top of the photo is a great colour, I think it takes away from the composition.
