Dereliction, Dun Laoghaire.

I appear to have lost the ability to spell the name of that place correctly and my typing isn’t so hot right now either.

This photograph is of the derelict baths in Dun Laoghaire. Having done a little reading up on them lately I have learned that they were still open until 1997. Although that’s 12 [...]

Urban Decay…

I don’t usually do the urban decay shots but for one or two reasons I’ve been out checking parts of abandoned Dublin out lately. Today I was in Sandymount and Blackrock. I was also in Dun Laoghaire.
