One of those WOW post sunset evenings - I can still remember standing in awe looking on as the sky went all kinds of colours and as an added bonus reflected beautifully on the shore. Taken on this day 2023 from Sutton Strand, Co. Dublin.

Sunset and amazing shapes in the sky - a fantastic memory from this day last year when Lough Ennell really delivered - stunning dancing in the sky and a beautiful sunset. A little slice of heaven. Totally amazing to witness.

In sharp contrast to this morning, it was a stunning morning on the Bull Wall and Bull Island in Dublin on this day last year 🌅 Gorgeous sunrise colours and a lovely sun rising over Buoy #5 in Dublin Bay and posing behind the Réalt na Mara statute at the end of the Bull Wall.

This adorable robin was singing its heart out yesterday afternoon at the Dublin Botanic Gardens. Its beak never opened, but its chest puffed up like a tiny ventriloquist.

IRISH WINTER SUNRISE MOMENTS
Since about 2020, I have tried to be outside for every sunrise in December and January - often the best part of the day. This collage shows a sunrise photo for each day from 30th November to 1st February over those years.

A stunning sunrise this morning despite all the cloud and grey - such a bright horizon for a short while and the clouds really lit up as the sun rose. Viewed from Greenore, Co. Louth looking over Carlingford Lough and towards Haulbowline Lighthouse.

A beautiful, crystal-clear morning where both the sun and the moon put on a spectacular show. These images capture the full moon setting behind the trees of Flagstaff / Fathom Woods, as seen from the shore at Omeath.

A lovely morning walk at Gyles Quay - a hint of brightness for sunrise and some ominous skies before the rain set in.

🗓️25th Jan
Some lovely views at sunrise this morning from Omeath, Co. Louth. Low tide was 9:36am so I was able to walk to the smaller of the 2 Newry River Range Leading Lights as well as the site of the Narrow Water Bridge which will link Omeath to Warrenpoint, Co. Down.
