EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures an elevated view of Dalkey and Killiney Hill in County Dublin, Republic of Ireland, around the early 1900s. The image, titled "Fr Sorrento - Dalkey and Killiney Hill," showcases the stunning beauty of the rugged coastline and the picturesque buildings nestled within it. Located in the southern part of County Dublin, Dalkey and Killiney Hill are renowned for their natural and architectural charm. The area is known for its quaint fishing village, Dalkey, with its colorful houses and narrow streets, and the majestic Killiney Hill, which offers breathtaking views of Dublin Bay and the Irish Sea. In this photograph, the buildings appear as tiny dots against the vast, rugged coastline. The hillside is dotted with trees, providing a stark contrast to the rocky cliffs and the deep blue waters below. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past and the simple beauty of life in this part of Ireland. The name "Fr Sorrento" is likely a reference to the Franciscan friary located in Dalkey, which was founded in the 13th century. The friary, with its distinctive whitewashed walls and red-tiled roof, can be seen in the background of the photograph, adding to the historical significance of the image. This photograph is a testament to the enduring charm of Dalkey and Killiney Hill and the beauty of the Irish coastline. It invites us to take a moment to appreciate the natural wonders and rich history of this beautiful corner of the world.
