Castles in the Night

As I've said before, Brian is the resident photographer about 99% of the time. He has a lot of patience to capture the most artistic light and angles. I remember him taking these photos, and was disappointed when they originally came out too dark. However, playing around with the exposure is a lot of fun and recaptures the original scenes that were before us.

The castles we visited were lit from the ground and inside at night, which is why the trees below look so green. That and they're in Ireland, where the grass is just greener.

The rain contributes to this, of course. But then we complain about how wet and muddy everything gets. Brian and I like to travel in the off season. For one, it is much cheaper. It is also much less crowded at tourist attractions. However, we deal with the cold wet air. I think in life it's a good reminder you can't have it all!
