Capturing Moments: Sandymount Strand, Dublin Bay

I recently made a photography trip to Sandymount, a coastal suburb in Dublin, Ireland.

Sandymount Strand has a 2.5km promenade and an extensive beach set along Dublin Bay, while Sandymount village is set back from the coast.

One of the most famous landmarks along the Dublin coastline is the former Poolbeg Generating Station, which is home to two chimneys, affectionately known locally as the Poolbeg Stacks. These chimneys are among the tallest structures in Ireland and can be seen all over Dublin city.

On the morning I visited the tide was out and I seized the opportunity to get a close-up image of the stacks, as well as trying to get some more unique angles and perspectives. The weather was variable and the bright sunlight quickly gave way to dark, moody skies.

I also took some images of buildings facing the promenade and activity on a quiet morning on the popular strand.
