Down at the sea in Shankill looking across Killiney Bay in south county Dublin as the light is finally fading.

A lot of the super wealthy and famous have grabbed a piece of land here.

This is a 30 second exposure and I've used a torch/flashlight to illuminate the rocks.

This shot made it to #19 on the Flickr Explore/Interesting pages for 24 January 2007.
