Wooden Bridge Clontarf – Frozen Winter Dawn

A crisp Dublin winter morning along The Wooden Bridge in Clontarf, captured during a biting –2°C dawn on a January morning. The famous Wooden Bridge, linking Clontarf and Dollymount, is transformed by the cold into a shimmering frozen surface, its long wooden boards glazed in ice and frost, except for the tyre tracks left by passing cars.

In the distance, a lone car waits to cross, its headlights glowing warmly against the frozen surface, creating a beautiful interplay between cold light and colder textures. Beyond it, the sky lifts from a deep golden horizon into delicate pastel tones, fading into powder blue as dawn breaks over Dublin Bay.

The long leading lines of the bridge draw the eye straight through the scene, creating a sense of stillness, anticipation, and the quiet magic of early winter mornings by the Dublin coast. This print captures that rare combination of atmosphere and geometry that makes the Wooden Bridge one of Dublin’s most beloved locations to photograph.

A perfect print for anyone who loves Dublin’s coastline, winter light, or the serene beauty of dawn, this artwork brings the calm chill of a frozen morning into your space.
