I have just returned from a trip to Dublin and managed to take advantage of the good weather at the weekend that the whole country seems to have enjoyed. It was better weather than many European destinations and I don't think I have ever seen the Irish Sea look so blue as it did during those warm sunny days. I thought I would share some of my personal photographs with you. The picture above was taken at Skerries, a small coastal town just north of Dublin.
Glendalough is a popular tourist destination in the heart of the Wicklow Mountains just over an hours drive south of Dublin, two lakes of brilliant crystal clear water reflecting the blue of the clear skies and surrounded by verdant green forest. A good spot for walking and getting away from it all - but not on one of the hottest days of the year as the popular low level walks were teeming with visitors and from early afternoon there was a queue for the car parks. Fortunately we had arrived early and enjoyed the best of the day before the area became flooded with tourists.
Back in Dublin the Bull Bridge at Dollymount is a good spot for an evening walk and we enjoyed the late warm evening sunshine of the year's longest days and clear views across the bay to the Wicklow Mountains. I loved the way the late evening sun brought out the texture of the wood on this ancient bridge.
