Daily Photo – Low Tide at Malahide

This is low tide at Malahide Beach which you can find on Dublin’s northern coastline. It is a wonderful two kilometres of pristine sand that transforms dramatically when the tide retreats. At the low tide the water reveals a fascinating pathway of seaweed, shallow rock pools and intricate patterns etched into the sand. 

Only a few hours previously I’d gotten off a long-haul, 12-hour flight from Hong Kong. Wanting to stay up as long as possible to reset the body clock, I went on a long walk to stay awake. I can’t remember how far I walked, but it was a decent enough way in the crisp Irish air.
