Murlough Bay
Murlough Bay is a stunning coastal location situated in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. This picturesque bay is surrounded by rugged cliffs and rolling hills, making it a popular destination for photographers looking to capture the natural beauty of the area. The bay is home to a variety of wildlife, including seals, dolphins, and seabirds, making it an ideal location for nature photography. The bay is also home to several historic landmarks, including the ruins of an ancient castle and a 17th-century church, providing photographers with a wealth of interesting subjects to capture. With its breathtaking scenery and rich history, Murlough Bay is a must-visit location for any photographer looking to capture the beauty of Northern Ireland.
The whole Murlough Bay is very picturesque, but what really draws my attention is this lone tree, slightly above the bay. I arrived quite some time after sunrise (spent in the nearby Darh Hedges), but the Sun was still rather low and the light was very pleasant for this composition.
