Dublin's Iconic Custom House at Night

Dublin's iconic Custom House at night, reflected in the River Liffey.

I posted a photo of the famous Dublin landmark as it was bathed in bright golden sunlight, see here: https://panoramicireland.com/photo-tours-blog/dublin-beautiful-colour-sunset-river-liffey-custom-house but I have photographed this building more often at night over the past twenty years.

Designed by architect James Gandon in the 1790s the Custom House now functions as a scenic focal point on Dublin's River Liffey.

Often it will be suggested that the real name, somehow, is the Customs House - with an 's' however, street signs, maps, the government department based in the Custom House and archiseek all refer to it as the latter.

Join me to photograph the Custom House and the rest of Dublin at night on one of my photography tours and workshops.
