Phoenix Park - Dublin




I took this photo in December 2012, I love the hazy morning light and the way the deer are emerging from the mist and glow of the sunrise. This beautiful park is only about ten minutes from my parents house, but I only get to visit it once maybe twice a year, usually around December.


Bare trees in the Furry Glen

These two photos were taken in December 2013, on a bitingly cold day where it "looked like snow" but no snowflakes actually fell. In the second photo you can just about see a grey squirrel in the trees, this little guy was one of the only signs of life in the park on that particular cold and still day.

I just love that this fabulous park - while almost in central Dublin - is so vast that it is undisturbed by traffic noise or signs of pollution. You could quite easily believe you are in the wilderness with just the wind in the trees and the occasional bird song adding to the natural sounds of silence.
