THIS IS KNOWN AS BLACKROCK BEACH

BLACKROCK BEACH AREA SALTHILL GALWAY

Salthill’s big yellow diving board at Blackrock, on Salthill’s famous seaside promenade, is often referred to as the Galway swimming institution and many people can be found swimming here at all hours of the day and in all conditions [despite very obvious dangers].

Even though I engage in what is often referred to as Street Photography my approach is to avoid including people who can be uniquely identified in my photographs. However at times I do have to make decisions relating to privacy and even though the weather was really bad when I visited the Diving Tower there was a large number of people there and this restricted what I could photograph which is a pity. Unfortunately, because of the weather conditions, I only had a small 25mm lens.
