This stunning off the cuff capture was taken by Joe Mulleady a local Leitrim photographer.
It shows Sheemore Hill in the background.
Sheemore and Sheebeg (closeby but not in shot) – Sacred Hill of the fairies.
These hills in South Leitrim are hills steeped in mythology. Sheemore known as the hill of the fairies is speckled with fairy trees and tombs on the ascent. It has inspired musicians and artists including the composer O Corolan who penned a tune later to be made famous by Planxty. On the larger mound Sheemore, there is three cairns on the summit. Today it is lit up at night by a huge crucifix mounted on its peak. Sheemore is 178m or 600ft.
Sheebeg is a much smaller mound and very accessible. According to poet John Wilmott, it’s always useful to check for the bulls in the field beforehand! Both hills are said to be mystical and folklore recounts they are meant to open up releasing fairies and spirits on Halloween.
Ireland itself is steeped in mythology but this bit of it was new to me today.
Joe said about this capture: When you see the bit of blush under the clouds from the kitchen window, tripping across yourself to get yer camera. The image was a bit mmha until, the fire ball set the low clouds on fire. The colour lit the sky for a total of 3mins, wonderful by all means..and then it was gone.
It’s one of the best I’ve seen and being Irish it’s nice to see shots like this taken in Ireland.
Enjoy!
Cracking photo thanks
Is that the sunrise or the sunrise on LSD?
Are those real colours?
It’s a shame you don’t to psychedelics out that way – with visuals like that, it would be an awesome setting!
Beautiful
That’s a really gorgeous shot!!
I’d love to see the original unedited shot
A tad heavy on the contrasting there.
Absolutely blasting the fuck out of the saturation slider
Editing a photo is something that can seriously improve it but when someone just fully does the saturation and contrast sliders this is what you get and it’s such an eye sore
