This is sort of my view from my kitchen window. I say sort of because I do see Castlerock and Tablerock from my house, but from a different angle. I went out and painted the early morning shadows on the hills. If it’s sunny, I’ll give it another try in the morning. The skyContinue reading “Castlerock and Tablerock”
