The Forty Foot gentlemen's swimming place. Dublin 1963.

At the Forty Foot gentlemen's swimming place in Dublin, 1963, a rustic wooden sign is explicit: "GENTLEMEN ONLY." On a sunny day, an elderly man in a dark suit walks along a concrete path amid the weathered rocks. He carries a briefcase and a towel, a pipe in his right hand, his sharp shadow cast before him. In the background, a bicycle leans against a stone wall near the sea, which stretches out to a distant headland under a clear sky.
