Visit to Bray

 So on St. Stephen’s day the weather let up and we were able to do a quick trip to Bray for the afternoon. I really love Bray beach, and the way the sun came and went it really made some photograph fun.

In the summer months Bray is usually teeming with people, but during the winter months it is more manageable. That said, it was quite busy.

As an added bonus, there were some, almost proper waves. A rare enough site in the Irish sea, and definitely something I miss from South Africa.

The Bray Harbour is home to a Swan Sanctuary. This I never knew. There are 60 muted swans at home here. You can read more about them on their Facebook page

More info on Bray can be found in Wikipedia. There is also a website dedicated to the town at Bray.ie

Christmas in Dublin

As I mentioned previously, living in Ireland is like living in a picture book. Well, I think Christmas probably tops that. Everybody goes into festive mood, and then the Christmas lights come out…

This year I did not get round much, and not a lot of pictures was taken, but I promise to do better next year. That said, below are some of the pics taken this year. Mostly in Dublin around Henry and O’Connell streets, and then some of the houses near my home that put on a lovely display.
