EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, the tranquility of Coliemore Harbour in Dalkey, near Dublin, Ireland, is captured as never before. The scene is set with the picturesque Dalkey Rowing Club nestled on the quayside, its red-painted doors standing proud against the backdrop of the harbor. The boats, bobbing gently on the water, reflect the soft light of the setting sun, creating a serene and idyllic atmosphere. But it is not just the harbor and its surroundings that hold our attention. In the foreground, a couple lies asleep on the rooftop of the boathouse, their peaceful slumber interrupted only by the lulling sound of the waves crashing against the shore. The image of the couple, lost in restful slumber, adds a sense of stillness and calm to the bustling harbor scene. The Dalkey Rowing Club, founded in 1892, is a testament to the rich maritime history of this coastal town. The club's boats, lined up neatly on the quayside, are a reminder of the tradition and passion for rowing that has been passed down through generations. As the sun begins to set, casting a warm glow over the harbor, the day's activities come to a close. The couple on the rooftop, oblivious to the world around them, continue to bask in the peace and quiet of the harbor. The Dalkey Rowing Club, with its red doors and boats, stands as a symbol of the enduring beauty and tranquility of the Irish coastline. This photograph, taken in 1992, captures a moment in time that is both timeless and unforgettable. The image invites us to pause and appreciate the simple pleasures of life - the sound of the sea, the warmth of the sun, and the company of a loved one. It is a reminder that even in the midst of the hustle and bustle of daily life, there are moments of peace and relaxation to be found.
