Dublin and the beach (Pic Heavy)
« on: May 26, 2012, 10:15:23 PM »
A forecast for a perfect summers day led to me being pressed into a trip to the beach by my kids  ::) ::) so I decided to get a few hours at DUB  before heading to the beach, I arrived very early (6am) but the light was still nice for the early arrivals....

After a hour or so watching the kids splash in the sea and catching some contrails I heard a familiar sound...

Very nice collection. Some great prop blur as well. Still can't find the beach in that last one :)
