Sunrise on Skellig Michael

The Skellig islands are like something from another world so I intentionally left the flare in the shot. The dramatic scenery is both harsh and spectacularly beautiful. The island has become hugely popular due to the filming of several scenes from the last 2 Star Wars episodes. It is one of a series of photos captured over 2 long days with full access to Skellig Michael. It took years to get a full open permission to photograph the island. The photo was captured just after sunrise and close to where the boats drop off visitors to the island. The equally dramatic Little Skellig looms in the background.
