Sandymount Tower with Tower Cafe. Dublin 1963.

At low tide in Dublin in 1963, a wide, sandy expanse is dotted with figures under a pale, hazy sky. A nun in a full black habit walks with a group of young children, while others are scattered across the rippled sand. In the background, the substantial, circular Sandymount Tower stands behind a seawall, with houses and their prominent television antennas visible beyond. The black and white composition captures an everyday moment with a timeless quality.
