'Images of Fingal' is a collection of beautiful and evocative photographs of north County Dublin taken by David O'Flynn over an eighteen-month period. The heritage of north Dublin is rich and varied, with busy fishing ports, golden beaches and period houses, passed down from previous generations. This collection attempts to capture the essence of a diverse area. Many of the places photographed are well known and are all easily accessible to the public. The journey starts in Howth and meanders in a leisurely northward direction towards Balbriggan. There is no lofty or noble ideal behind this book. It is not intended to be a photojournalistic record tackling important issues but simply a personal collection of random, yet beautifully observed, scenes based in and around the parks and coastal walks of this corner of County Dublin.Images of Fingal
