Howth Lighthouse was built in 1817
One of the very few March evenings where you get to see the sky. In the background of the lighthouse you can see a storm out there on the open sea. The window of opportunity for this shot was literally 10 minutes before weather turned for the worst. Clouds were moving very fast this day.

The Harbour lighthouse in Howth is an historic aid to navigation situated on the East pier of the harbour. It was built in the early 19th century to help guide shipping into the newly constructed harbour, which acted as the terminus for the packet service between Ireland and England. In 1982 it was decommissioned and replaced by a modern pole light on an adjacent extension of the pier.
