When you’re standing in a beautiful dusk scene it’s always tempting to shoot into the setting sun and get those amazing oranges, but when you turn the opposite way you get cool rich blues which can be beautiful in their own way!

An #IrishRail InterCity passing the #RoyalCanal jetty at Jackson’s Bridge while the spring sun shines down on the still bare trees. The leaf buds on the trees are right on the verge of opening, so by next week the trees will probably be greening.
