Autumn is upon us....

Summer has reached it's evening with the end of August.  Like on Lough Owel, pictured below.


I took this photo coming back from our latest trip to Sligo.  I'm working on a plan or work-up for a painting of a Lough Mask landscape for a commission and found this on my camera.  I'd forgotten I had taken this shot but it expresses the calm slow end to a summers day.  The light struggling to creep through the hovering clouds, with the wind ripples almost totally disappeared from the surface of the water as if they too were off to bed for the night...
It's how I feel at the moment, realising summer has all but gone, and winter is on the horizon.
