Click for a larger versionThe photograph was stitched together from several shots taken from the railway footbridge at Blackrock station. Apart from the slowly decaying rusted remains of the Blackrock baths diving tower, from right to left you can make out the west pier of Dun Loaghaire harbour, Howth Head 12km across Dublin Bay and the twin chimneys of Poolbeg power station.

While the view on a nice day can be incredible, on a windy winter morning when the swell in the bay gets up the walk over the footbridge can be bitterly cold, and wet. But this morning was one of the good days.
