Another Dun Laoghaire Harbour View

Just can't resist Dun Laoghaire Harbour so here, for Panoramic Saturday, is another view from the East Pier.

No Unauthorised Use

While the whelk catch is being loaded in Wicklow Harbour the gulls get to indulge in a veritable feast from the top crates in each pile.  Unauthorised?  Try telling that to the gulls!

Below, the gull on the left keeps watch as his friend tucks in!

Walkin' The Walk

This determined gull walks the walk in search of food in the harbour at Wicklow Town.

Urban Sprawl

The view west over the urban sprawl of Wicklow Town.

Another Sandycove View

Panoramic Saturday, and today we're on the rocks beside the little beach in Scotsman's Bay looking back at the houses along the seafront at Sandycove, County Dublin.

The Lighthouse

The lighthouse at the end of the East Pier in Dun Laoghaire, County Wicklow.

The Yacht Club

Today, strolling along the East Pier in Dun Laoghaire, County Dublin, we look back to this view of the National Yacht Club.

Little And Large

Pictured this morning in Wicklow Harbour, crew of the trawler 'My-Clan' tend to the nets while dwarfed by the cargo ship 'Scot Pioneer' and it's load of timber.

The Sheer Sense Of Space

Passing through the Sally Gap, County Wicklow, you can't help but be captivated by the quiet and the sheer sense of space of it all.

Nightfall

Nightfall over farmland in my little neck of the woods - that's Blainroe, County Wicklow.

Luggala Revisited

Today it's Saturday, Panoramic Saturday, so here's a reworked  wide view over Luggala Mountain.

Greener

Continuing our visit to Dublin's St Stephen's Green we take in this view of the pond.

All Green

Today we take a little foray into the centre of Dublin for this mostly green shot in beautiful St Stephen's Green.

Cloudy View

Looking left on the R115, the old Military Road between the Sally Gap and Laragh, the wide open spaces quickly cloud over.

Luggala Mountain

Pictured on a recent trip to the Sally Gap, County Wicklow, this is Luggala Mountain with the grounds of Luggala Lodge below.

Green And Blue

A sunny Friday afternoon last as we take in the view southeast over the cliffs leading to Wicklow Head with the golf-course on the right.

Scotman's Bay

Today we move from our home base in Wicklow for this view of Scotsman's Bay, Sandycove, County Dublin with James Joyce Tower and Museum on the right.

From Above

For today's Panoramic Saturday view we look north over Wicklow Town from a hill just south of town.

All Is Still

Early morning and all is quiet and still in Dun Laoghaire harbour.

A Nice Vintage

The vintage car show, held outside Wicklow's Historic Gaol last Sunday, wasn't as interesting as previous years but this was nice  - a 1969 911T.

Under Construction

This is Greystones Harbour which was under redevelopment over the last couple of years until
the developers ran into some difficulty with the funding, and so all work has come to a halt with the harbour area now surrounded by  builders's hoarding. The residents of Greystones are more than a little peeved at this situation and many meetings and protests continue to be held to try to, at least, have the hoarding removed and allow reasonable access to the harbour area.  Quite simply, the people want their harbour back!

It's Theme Day in the City Daily Photo community and today's theme is Under Construction.  Click here to view thumbnails for all participants

Glenmacnass Waterfall

Glenmacnass Waterfall falls from near the summit of Mullaghcleevaun, the second highest mountain in Wicklow, down to the valley we viewed yesterday.

 
A bit slippery on the rocks in the waterfall so careful!

Glenmacnass Valley

Continuing along the R115 leading to Laragh, County Wicklow we approach Glenmacnass and are looking south from the head of the valley.

On The Road Again

Still on the R115 between the Sally Gap crossroads and Laragh, Co Wicklow we have a change of vista from the wide open spaces of yesterday's post to this closer up view through one of the many forests along the route.

The Old Military Road View

 

It's Panoramic Saturday again and we're on the R115, the old Military Road, between the Sally Gap and Laragh, County Wicklow for today's wide view.  Click HERE for a previous post which gives a brief outline of the road's origin.

Next Turn Left

We're in the Wicklow Mountains at the Sally Gap crossroads and about to take the next turn left onto the R115, the old Military Road, which takes us back across the mountains to Laragh and Glendalough.

Lough Tay

The scenic and dark Lough Tay set between the mountains of Luggala and Djouce is a vista which we have pictured several times but one which is always a delight to return to. The startlingly white sand of the beach which forms the northern coastline marks one of the boundaries of the Luggala Estate belonging to the Guinness family.

Cloghogue Valley

A few days ago, we toured around the Wicklow Mountains in the area of the Sally Gap and, passing Luggala, we just couldn't resist this view over the Cloghogue Valley with Lough Dan in the distance.

Unloading

The maltese registered cargo ship Alexander Kuprin unloads at the Packet Pier in Wicklow Harbour.

Making Waves

Yesterday, Sunday, a wild and windy day as we headed for the Wicklow Mountains.  Just outside Roundwood we passed the Vartry Reservoir as the wind whipped up the water.

Wild Country

Making our way around Knockree Hill, County Wicklow,  we observe this beautiful and wild stretch of Glencree Valley.

The Tide Is Out

Panoramic Saturday again and the tide is out as we look at Wicklow Harbour from South Quay.

Tree View

The view from the headland overlooking Magheramore Beach near Blainroe, County Wicklow.

Rocky VI - Slight Return

Today, we return briefly to our 'Rocky' series for this view from the beautiful Kilpatrick Sandhills near Kilmichael, County Wicklow.

Things Are Looking Up

Things are looking up on Bray promenade, especially now that the summer season has begun and the traffic on the prom has increased accordingly, well, weather permitting!

The Other Side Of Town

Every town has an 'other side' and Wicklow Town is no different, with this view of an area of light industry situated on it's northern edge and sitting alongside the nature reserve of The Murrough wetlands, in the background, which itself stretches a further 15 kms to the north.

Greystones Coastline

The coastline as shot from Marine Road, Greystones with the view north to Bray Head in the background.

The Slow Food Movement

It's lunchtime at the seaside, so it must be fish and chips and what better place to indulge than the seafront at Bray, County Wicklow, as this line of hungry punters slowly wend their way to gastronomic nirvana!

Wicklow Harbour View

It's Saturday, panoramic Saturday that is, and today we're looking south from the north pier at Wicklow Harbour.

Take Off And Landing

The Greylag Goose provides plenty of entertainment as he criss-crosses the lake at the Arklow Nature Reserve in search of food.

On The Daisy Carpet

Today, we're back in Arklow Nature Reserve to see the Greylag Goose in action on the daisy carpet.

Duck Studies

Another of our favourite places is the Nature Reserve in Arklow, Co Wicklow and today we observe some of the many ducks who populate this lovely spot.
