It was very windy on this day when I walked out the pier. Boats rocked back and forth but the sun was shining and it was a lovely day.

As I walked to the Forty Foot a few days ago, I saw an ominous, dark cloud out at sea. Knowing that it would guarantee it wouldn’t rain, I got my umbrella from the car. It didn’t rain.

Near the Forty Foot in Dún Laoghaire is a statue with religious carvings on it. For once, Google Maps wasn’t too helpful about what the statue was called. Hopefully, someone from the area will see this and let me know what it’s called. Edit: Thanks Oisin, the statue is called Stele.

A starling perched on a railing in the seaside town of Dún Laoghaire watches the goings-on in the nearby café. Pickings will be slim today as the establishment is being renovated and is not serving customers today!

I’m shopping in the rain, just shopping in the rain,what a glorious feeling, I’m happy again! Well, I hope she got something nice in H&M.

When the family is enjoying themselves, leave the buggy close by. A lovely day in Dún Laoghaire when Sandycove was thronged, but people made the most of the day, even if the area was a little rocky.

I spotted this gate at the Forty Foot in Dún Laoghaire yesterday, and then noticed the decommissioned Poolbeg Power station was visible through the bars. There weren’t any swimmers about at this end of the Forty Foot, so I got a few photos of two iconic symbols of Dublin in one scene!

I was in Dún Laoghaire today on a beautiful afternoon. Sandycove Beach and the Forty Foot were both thronged with swimmers and people relaxing. I wish I brought my togs and a towel, but I had my camera and snapped a photo of this gentleman with his dog out on the water, paddleboarding!

There are many ways of waiting on a busy shopping street.

Argh, the bats! The bats! Well, they’re very realistic, aren’t they? Spotted in a Bubble Tea shop in Dublin last year around this time of year.

A woman stands next to a display of flowers for sale in Dublin last October. I played with the colours here a little. A bit of fun on an image that was too noisy, and too dark.

We just tap tap tap on the screens to order. The man watching me take the photo never said a word either. It was Halloween, did you notice the horns on her head?
