Blue Hour Dublin, the River Liffey and Convention Centre

Blue hour in Dublin, photographing the city's modern riverfront skyline.

The River Liffey east of the city centre has changed substantially in the past 15 years. Formerly the quays here were flanked by red-brick Victorian warehouses of only a few storeys high as can be seen in the middle section of the image here.

Now, new buildings line the river and, although not lofty, their scale does eclipse those old warehouses.

The colour here from the buildings suiting the blue hour's natural tones.

Join me, Panoramic Ireland, to photograph in Dublin, Ireland and beyond. Photography tours and workshops are available all year round.
