Ireland’s a gen­er­ally rainy place, we all know this. But every now and then — even in autumn — you get a few hours of sun­shine (if you’re lucky).

And so, yes­ter­day, we went for a stroll (the three of us now) around Maynooth to profit from this short win­dow of good weather (which, in the end, only las­ted about 4 hours). Of course we went through the beau­ti­ful Sound Cam­pus of the uni­ver­sity, just because it’s so pretty in sun­shine. This took us past this mag­ni­fi­cent, incred­ibly strongly col­our tree right out­side St. Patrick’s House.

See­ing the blue sky, I also grabbed a polar­ising fil­ter when we left, which then allowed me to really bring out those col­ours. They turned out so intense, that the pic­ture as seen here in a browser (due to the rel­at­ively small gamut of the sRGB col­our space) can­not render the actual sat­ur­a­tion of the colours!
