Hi Brian,
Great light ! When the sea takes metallic tones and the rays of sun pass through the clouds, it makes a wonderful photo. I particularly like the little monument on the left of the picture. Just magiic.
regards,
Delphine

Hi Brian,
A nice view on Mussenden temple and the coast around. You caught a great moment with these sunbeams going out of the clouds. I love too the waves on the sea in the foreground and the shapes of Inishowen mountains in the background.
Have a nice day,
Olivier

Very well done

Hi Brian,
Great light indeed, perfect capture, nice golden reflections on the sea, good effect with the silhouette of the coast and the tower for complement, tfs.

Hi Brian,
I see you gallery gets better and better.
This one is just breath-taking.
I have been there some time ago and I uploaded a view with Mussenden Temple but a more classical view.
I like here very much how far is the temple and yet it makes a clear shape on the horizon.
Obviously it was taken from a great POV and the light could not be better. The rays of light passing between the heavy dark clouds are fantastic and the title was very well chosen here.
It reminds me a little one of my photo from Mayo SEE HERE where I have also given a sort of religious title.
I guess such views may provoke this type of thinking.
Excellent work,
M

Hello Brian!
Excellent shot! I have tried but failed so far in capturing such 'divine' light! Love the sheen on the sea & the small waves in silhouette with the temple in silhouette as well in the BG. Good work!
With Regards
Angshu

Hi Brian

Wow, I almost feel religious looking at this photo. Almost :) So your photo is pretty moving. The light is heavenly, I love how it shone through the clouds and glimmers on the water. The mountains in the background and the tones in the sky are just magical. Congratulations, great shot.

Best regards
Lisa

PS: Hopefully it'll be a good match on Saturday and no matter the result both Ireland and Aus go through in their Pool. All Blacks look strong.

Hallo Brian,
I like your composition. Indeed a classic one. The lines formed by the waves are in balance with the rock and the building on the top,

Hi Brian,
A perfect title for a beautiful picture. The layers of light in this are fantastic, and your inclusion of the little lighthouse in the bottom left shows the scale of these amazing beams. Thanks for sharing!
Best wishes
Noel

Brian, what could I ever write to you when I see God's light coming through the clouds?
Always looking up for His Glory and He always looks down on us, generous and forgiving!
Amazing, dramatic, extraordinary picture with elements of the mystery of the unknown, the shiny waves with the slight but so attractive movement and the majestic sky compose an exceptional picture!
My warm regards,
Eleni
