Red and White Chimneys

A quick shot of Sandymount with the iconic 'red and white chimneys' in the background, taken after Pfizer Vaccine #1 at the Aviva Stadium.  Built in the1970's and decommissioned in 2010, these chimneys are on the site of the Poolbeg and Pigeon House power stations, both owned by the ESB. The chimneys can be seen from much of the city and are now thankfully listed as a protected structure.  This is an area I’ve walked many times and of which I have fond memories. I still hear my daughters’ shouts down the years when the 'red and white chimneys' come into view as we pass by in the the car or return by ship from holidays in the Isle of Man.

The photo was taken on a Canon R6 with a Canon 24-70mm lens with a shutter of 1/125 sec and aperture of  f/11 with ISO 100.
