Arklow Harbour, Co. Wicklow, Irelandreflection

Remin­is­cent of the other post of a cross-​processed “naut­ical detail”, here’s another one.

I took it just last Fri­day when we had a friend of Steffi’s vis­it­ing us (Lenko), who’s cur­rently on a Europe-​Africa-​Tour (he oth­er­wise lives in Canada). We did a little day tour around County Wick­low, which is just south of Dub­lin. That included hik­ing in fairly touristy Glend­alough (Irish for “val­ley of two lakes”) — but which is also quite pop­u­lar among loc­als — and then back up the east coast to Dub­lin.

The photo above was taken in the har­bour of Ark­low, a little coastal town. There were loads of boats rust­ing away in the sun, next to some big signs com­plain­ing about how the EU ruined the lives of Irish fish­er­men. While there is some truth to it, some of them were also rather pop­u­list in nature. But any­way, I tried to make this shot as simple and organ­ised as pos­sible. Keep the fairly geo­met­ric shapes as neatly organ­ised, with not too many in the frame, but still enough to make it inter­est­ing.

Here are the rest of the pho­tos from the day.
