I love your pictures from Dun Laoghaire! Especially the 'Mothership' sculpture——it looks surreal, almost as if it's made by an AI, and I mean that as a compliment, because reality can sometimes be more weird than stuff we make up.
I've been in Dun Laoghaire harbour several times for the day job (boarding ferries), but have never taken the time to visit Dun Laoghaire itself. Now I wish I had.
Dun Laoghaire is a terrific little town with an amazing modern library that is well worth a visit, plus it has lots of great architecture thanks to its past as a holiday spot for the well off Anglo-Irish. The coastal views are lovely. Those sculptures are part of a 'sculpture trail' in the region. It's a good stop for a day trip (especially if you get decent weather) and you can catch the DART into the city centre.
Love this, Maura. We are ruminating on similar wavelengths this week, as you'll see with my post tomorrow.
I'm glad you enjoyed this, and as ever, I'm looking forward to reading your newsletter!
Sorry to hear about your loss, Maura.

Thanks, Jetse.
