Ahh daylight savings time in Wicklow - it’s like having a second day after work. My favourite time of year

The setting sun in Dublin. Taken from the North Bull Wall, we see the sea (the Tolka Estuary) in the foreground, and far in the distance is the North Dublin skyline. Behind the tallest building we can see is the sun, 1/5 or so obscured by the sun. Up in the sky above the building is a pair of clouds, shaded yellow and orange by the low-lying sun. The whole scene has a rusty hue.

Yesterday's sunset take from the Bull Wall.

A bit late tonight due to a data centre issue here in Sthretch Towers. All sorted now.

I love this for us. We don’t do daylight savings, we just wobble back and forth between two time zones.

Happy @theauldsthretch.bsky.social day to all who celebrate
