The story behind the image
We drove down the Irish east coast towards Dublin and stopped in Skerries, a busy town about 30 km north of Dublin. It had a small working harbour and several nice restaurants.
Once we had checked in at the B&B for the night we wanted to see the harbour. Much to our astonishment, the water was gone almost completely from the basin and the harbour. But the water returned over night, and in the morning all the yachts and ships were nicely anchored as if nothing had happened.
This is a shot from the pier across the harbour with the (modern) building of the Skerries Sailing Club. The sun was streaming in almost frontally, turning the water into a brightly sparkling carpet.
A wonderful high-key image.
