I took this photo at around 9.30am on a Sunday morning walk with my one-year-old son. It was a beautiful, warm morning, but I was surprised to see how early people were out fishing. The combination of the sunlight, sea and scenery made it very picturesque.
I grew up in Killiney, but I never tire of seeing Dalkey Island or the sea. Especially from Colliemore Harbour (which is actually the smallest harbour in the world), as it just frames the boats and Dalkey Island around it.
