![Forest, Glendalough, Ireland](https://storage.googleapis.com/wordpress_wpcontent/2017/07/ae956c1e-spc2682-edit-2124x1418.jpg)
Glendalough is one of those places with immense beauty where I just wasn’t feeling the scenery on the day I visited, so I felt incredibly lucky to get this photo. There were so many ingredients for a great photo, including amazing scenery, fantastic ruins, and a spectacular glacial lake. However, scenery is never enough – you also need good light, good shadows, and good clear atmosphere. Even more importantly, you need good timing. On this particular day, those things just weren’t clicking – especially the timing.
