A foot of water

Just in from a lovely evenings photography on the shores of Lough Conn. I had resisted going out all afternoon, instead getting more work done in the garden,( for which I am chalking up the Brownie points!) but at 7pm with sunset at 8.35 it was definitely time to head out. I decided to head to Lough Conn and a spot where I knew the sun would set behind Nephin. Of course I got distracted along the way and took a couple of detours, I suddenly realised that while sunset was due at 8.35 given that from my location it was going down behind Nephin mountain it would obviously happen earlier so had to abandon my distractions and get to my location in a hurry. I was glad I did because it was quite spectacular. Once I got there finding the right spot to get my picture was not easy, there was no foreground interest , but I spotted the old fence posts but had to wade through a foot of water for about 100 yds to reach this spot, fortunately although the depth of water varied a lot it never actually came over my wellington boots, I was delighted though that I made the effort when I got there as the fence posts were perfect. The only thing was that in my haste to check out the location, I left my camera bag with the filters I would need back in the car, so I left the camera on the tripod and retraced my steps,twice, still managing to avoid wet feet!
