Perhaps the only person happy with the bad weather …

A kitesurfer enjoying the waves and wind this evening off Sandymount Strand, Dublin

Waves crashing near the Forty Foot, Sandycove a short while later

Snapped these on my way home from work this evening – the waves off Sandycove seemed huge!

Be careful out there,

Poolbeg lighthouse this morning

It was dull over much of Dublin but a little sun was coming through the clouds over the sea.

Have a good day,

Sunset, Wicklow, Saturday Part II

I posted a photo late last night of yesterday’s sunset. As I said then:

Being on the east coast of Ireland I don’t get to see too many spectacular sunsets, but this evening I found the perfect spot to see one on a crisp spring evening. It was freezing, practically deserted, perfectly still, quiet and really beautiful. It reminded me of all the Saturdays I spent as a kid flying model gliders with my Dad off the slopes around Kilakee.

I took a lot of photos. Here are a few from the set

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the one I posted last night:

Hope you’re having a lovely Sunday.

Sunset, Wicklow National Park

Being on the east coast of Ireland I don’t get to see too many spectacular sunsets, but this evening I found the perfect spot to see one on a crisp spring evening. It was freezing, practically deserted, perfectly still, quiet and really beautiful. It reminded me of all the Saturdays I spent as a kid flying model gliders with my Dad off the slopes around Kilakee.

Will post more pics tomorrow.

A Friday the 13th Sunrise

The alarm went off way earlier than I needed it to this morning, so I decided to get up and take a look at the sunrise from the Vico Road in Dalkey. It was a beautiful sunrise, which went behind the clouds very fast after it moved up off the horizon. Some of the cloud formations in Ireland right now are fantastic.

Have a nice weekend,

Dusk, three skies

The weather has been April appropriate  - changeable! The skies in the evenings have been stunning and turbulent. Yesterday evening, at the same time, it seemed like there were three different skies.

Sea, sky, ship and Howth

The sunrise got the better of me this morning. But it was a beautiful start to the day in Dublin. The colours in the sky were very pretty.

Rain clouds, sunset over Dún Laoghaire

The best camera is the one you have on you. Was caught with just a phone this evening while out on a walk/run. The rain clouds were moving in and the sky was just amazing.

Have a nice evening!

Good Friday morning, Sandycove

Took these early this morning on my way into work shortly after 7am. It was so quiet out, only a few cars on the road.

For all those also working today – I hope it flies by!

Bird by moonlight

Grabbed this photo on my way home this evening. The moon was just beautiful. Not used to photographing it, so this is a toe in the water …
