Bull Island (or North Bull Island to be precise) is situated in the Irish Sea just off Clontarf and is accessible by car or foot via a wooden bridge. The Artdeco bathing shelters and Kiosk on the Bull Wall were designed by Herbert Simms, (Housing architect to Dublin Corporation from 1932 until 1948), in 1934

Spiddal, Galway

Back into the West last weekend to see the cousin and drove down the R336 from Galway City into Spiddal stopping off on route to take a few shots. With the sun holding out, we drove up the Moycullen Road, passing the house where The Waterboys recorded their ‘Fishermans Blues’ album and opposite Hughes Bar where many had a great session I’m sure. Oh if only I could have stayed a bit longer..
