Gerard, The Great South Wall, Dublin

Once again, after breakfast with my wife near her workplace, I drove out along Pigeonhouse road. The Hammond Lane dock was very busy, full of trundling coal lorries, so I headed out to the Wall, stopping on the way to watch the rainclouds grazing the Dublin Mountains. I saw this man near that little stone building (I'm reminded of the original 'Blockhouse' where John Pidgeon worked) gazing out to sea. He was fine with having his portrait taken. He lives nearby in Ringsend and said he'd been coming out here regularly all his life.
