A view across Strangford Lough (35)

Strangford Lough in Northern Ireland is a very large body of water that connects with the sea. I have been out sailing on the Lough and it is magical. Seals are basking on the rocks and the chances of not getting rained on are slim. There are quite a few islands that seem to be home to sheep only. Farmers obviously ferry the sheep back and forth by boat.
This is the view from my friend Gina's house in early spring. Lucky her.

it is not possible to put a polariser on my camera. Missing that feature for sure. One of the reasons I don't do a lot of landscape shots. They all tend to haze out.

Hello Joni

Very well composed shot. I find this landscape view very attractive with its layers of terrain and color tone and I hope you wont mind if just for the fun of it, I try this WS to add curves, levels, saturation, contrast and sharpen. What do you think?

Cheers, bill
