Dun Laoghaire Pier Bandstand 1

EFA-232

Dun Laoghaire Pier bandstand

I had it in my mind to photograph the Dun Laoghaire Pier sun shelter and Band Stand for some time. I decided to photograph the 2 structures at night so I could use the existing industrial street lighting on the pier to great atmosphere in the scene and than along comes this fabulous opportunity when Dun Laoghaire County Council decided to decorate the bandstand in Fairy Lights at Christmas. Sometimes you just need to wait. The Sun Shelter located on the upper level of the east pier frames the scene and the cityscape of Dublin Bay forms a backdrop to the scene.
