Taken at Sandymount Strand looking out to Dublin Bay, Dun Laoghaire, and
Killiney Hill - with walkers and the sun beached.

Of course, it was here on Sandymount Strand that Irish writer Brendan Behan
discovered the difference between prose and poetry:

There was a young fella called Rollocks,
Who worked for Ferrier Pollocks,
On Sandymount Strand,
With his girl be the hand,
The tide came up to his... ankles

As Behan said on many occasions, "Now that's prose. If the tide had come any
higher, that would've been poetry".
