I was looking for a decent spot for a photoshoot that I hoping to do in a couple of weeks. There won’t be much time to be on location so I needed a spot that could combine several different scenarios. Below is a photograph taken at the spot that I think will make a great location.

Apartments at The Twelfth Lock pub

It’s on the Royal Canal Way near The Twelfth Lock pub in Castleknock. There’s water and boats (or barges, to be more precise). There’s small pockets of greenery and trees. Even better, further along the walk, the canal actually goes OVER the M50 motorway. There’s lots of big concrete structures and so on, so the graffiti artists have piled in and ‘decorated’ lots of the walls.

Concrete Pillars beside the Royal Canal Way

It’s a great mix: urban and rural, modern and old, water and metal.

Howth is a small, yet active, fishing village on the northside of Dublin. I’m constantly bowled over by the beauty of Howth every time I visit it.
