Golden Hour Dawn Swim in March at the Forty Foot, Dublin, Ireland

Early morning is a time to experience the true beauty of the world, daylight builds before sunrise to bathe landscapes in golden hour colour.

I’ve written about this location before, it’s the Forty Foot in Dublin and doesn’t need a lot of introduction if you’ve been a regular visitor to the site.

There is a special serenity to the morning, an ephemeral liminality as the short-lived golden light moves into bright daylight.

And at this time of year, it’s getting bright around 06:00, with sunrise under an hour later.
