`Spencer Dock's distinctive offices and luxurious apartments are Ireland's most ambitious regeneration project.
The developers are creating a new city quarter in the heart of Dublin, with leisure and shopping amenities and transport links that offer easy access to the city and beyond.`
I wanted to capture the explosive nature of this project. The view is from my balcony! Nice isn't it?
I did about 20 shots yesterday and found them uninteresting.
I checked the sunrise time and stood outside for over 2hrs watching the changes in the sky and waiting for a few things to come together.
I wanted drama in the dense clouds & the bright areas glowing and enough light on the building site for some detail. I also I wanted a bird!
I chose this from about 80 shots.

apocalyptic, stark, primal all mixed in together might capture a partial sense of this image's power content. Punchy processing, admirable dedication (2 hours???).
