DUN LAOGHAIRE COAL PIER

It could be the Meditteranian but it's Dun Laoghaire, a suburb of Dublin in July 2003. Fishing boats still work off Dun Laoghaire and concentrate on the Irish Sea and St George's Channel, south of Dublin. Most of the harbour was quarried from local rock, including substantial amounts from nearby Dalkey. This is one of Ireland's most affluent resential areas and you can see why; additionally, DART trains carry the delicate commuters of south country Dublin into the city in less that 30 minutes!
