"storm approaching"

This photo was taken on one of the first nights I ever spent at the Cliffs of Moher. This was shot shortly before the sun went down using some beautifully grainy Kodak Tri-X 400 speed film pushed 2 stops. This is definitely one of my top 5 favorite moments as a landscape photographer. In a 1 hour period I witnessed bright sunny skies followed by hail, 70 mph winds, sheets of rain, and more glorious sunshine. I would love to go back and relive this stormy May event over and over again like Bill Murray in "Groundhog Day."
