One o f the best times of the day to take a photo of any beautiful landscape is around sunrise and it wasn’t any different this morning at Kilfarrasy Beach in Co Waterford, just a few miles from the holiday town of Tramore.

The tide was out which gave me the opportunity to get in around the smaller sea stacks that are proudly sticking up out of the sand and the water breaking as the waves push themselves in around the rocks.

The clouds were almost watercolor painting-like, getting their pastel colors from the sun as it slowly rises above the hills and cliffs behind me, adding a splash of warm colors to the cliff-face itself.
