NUMBER 796

BENCHMARKS continued



Another one from the camera of Michael Byrne and it too was spotted while on a ramble on the Cliff Walk from Bray. It's located about 20 minutes into the walk so perhaps that would make it about a mile south of the start of the walk; or for our continental visitors, about 1.5 kilometres.

NUMBER 795

BENCHMARKS continued



With its russet and amber tones and the sparkling azure sea below, it could be a view of Amalfi; or even Fuenteventura or maybe Zakinthos; or perhaps Torrevieja. (No - on second thoughts - perhaps not Torreieja.) Where it actually is, is Bray. Yes, Bray. And it was there on the Cliff Walk that heads out of the town and goes south to Greystones, that Michael Byrne spotted this fine one while on a ramble.
