Quiet Man Cottage: The Rainbow
Featured in The Woman Photographer October 28th, 2009
Featured in _# 1 ARTISTS OF REDBUBBLE _ October 29th, 2009
The Quiet Man Cottage in Cong, co. Mayo, Ireland
Cottage was used in the movie with John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara
This day there was a gorgeous rainbow above the cottage, I took the shot from the river, in front of the fence. In PP I added a bit of texture, which I quite like, because it gives the image a painterly effect and a bit more vintage. The co. Mayo flag is hanging from the cottage.
