Small boat on the water outside Ballycotton harbour as the sun sets behind.

Sunset over the boats moored in Crosshaven, Co Cork.

Clouds in the sky are lit up by the sun after it has set. They’re a vivid red thanks to the light travelling through the thick atmosphere just beyond the horizon.

The footbridge over the railway line into Cobh. The sun had just set and cast a yellow glow over the sky. The bridge, lamps and trees became black silhouettes against the sky.

Kilcrea Friary in Co Cork as the sun set behind it. Despite the unusually wet summer, this particular evening was dry and warm and just about perfect for a sunset.
