I spent my childhood walking along this beautiful, aptly named, Beach Road, Sandymount, Dublin. If I ever win the lottery I will buy one of those houses facing the sea so as, on long winter nights, I can sit quietly at my bedroom window and gaze out at the Poolbeg Lighthouse, her light hazy yellow in the swirling fog. I will even imagine her eerie cry to the incoming ships warning them of treacherous rocks ahead. (God, I've read too many Enid Blyton stories!). Taken April 2011.

Hope they never remove these steps. I used to smell the seaweed whilst descending them

ReplyDeleteSo sorry Brian for deleting your comment, I mistakeningly took your triangle photo sign as spam until I read your blog and can see what happened.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed, I still return to Sandymount as often as possible, what a magic place! I've enjoyed browsing your paintings and yes, you can use my photos of the Strand as models for your paintings. I wish you well. Cheers!!! Ann
