These photos were taken on a trip out to Blackrock, a seaside town in Dublin. The photos were taken from the footbridge of the local train station. The first picture shows a disused bathing area. At least I hope it’s disused, it’s a bit on the run down side after all. The view of if of Howth peninsula in the background.
The second picture shows the diving tower which has lost it’s boards over the years. Even though it’s full of graffiti and rust, I still think it has a lot of charm. The bathing area has been there since the 1800s and the concrete ‘pool’ was built in 1887, more on that here. So it is a shame that it looks like this now but at least we still have these reminders of bygone eras. There are a few spots like this still around Dublin that I’d love to be able to get around and photograph.
The graffiti may not bother me too much, it’s the litter that gets me. I don’t care about drinking outside, but take you crap with you!
