'The sacred and profane
The pleasure and the pain
And every victory has a taste that's bitter-sweet,
And it's your face I'm looking for on every street.'
Benchmarker is aware that M.C. intends to go boldly (note the non-split infinitive) on a future safari to the West Pier in Dun Laoghaire. However on an unplanned stroll along it yesterday - the first in many a long year - an occasional eye was kept peeled. The result? This one on the lower walkway about 100 yards from the new breakwater going towards the lighthouse. A small pocket camera was all that was to hand but the results will suffice.
Below: A benchmark on the West Pier, Dun Laoghaire.
