bray beach from bray head
see, told you it was a nice view.
when i first arrived in bray i thought it was a nice, small coastal viillage or small town, it was only after climbing bray head on my first weekend off did i realise just how big the place really is. back then i didn't have my camera (only a dodgy min-pc video camera).
nearly 2 years later and i finally have a nice shot of bray, and if you look along the beach you might even see my little aquarium.
