Killiney and Dalkey Hills are undoubtedly among my favourite places in the world.
On several weekends during the summer, para-gliders could be seen soaring above the coastline. I wish I wasn't terrified of heights - but alas, I must view their skills from the ground only :(
It's no secret that Ireland is a rainy country.
Most days, you need a coat, umbrella and sunglasses to prepare for whatever way the weather may turn.
One bonus - lots of clouds to photograph. Silver linings and all that.
