Photographer’s Note

Hi Guys,

I took this picture in Dublin just few minutes before sunrise. The lighthouse, one of a formation of three, is located on the Great South Wall (South Bull Wall), at the Port of Dublin. The Port itself extends from Ringsend nearly four miles out into Dublin Bay, and was the world's longest at the time of its building, remaining one of the longest sea-walls in Europe. One of the other two lighthouses is located on the Bull Wall opposite, and the other on a wooden platform mid-channel.

Poolbeg Lighthouse in Dublin Bay was built in 1768 and initially operated on candlepower (reputedly the first in the world to do so) but changed to oil in 1786. It was re-designed and re-built into its present form in 1820.

I hope you like thit warm light and soft colours of the start of a day.
