Crackin' Up - The Great Wall's Granite Gamble
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness the fascinating battle between nature and human engineering. A grate covering a glass plate becomes an unlikely hero as it measures the rate of cracking in a granite sea wall protecting Dublin Port's harbour entrance from encroaching sand. Dublin Bay's South Bull sandbank poses a constant threat to the coast, but fear not! This formidable sea wall stands tall, preventing any unwanted sand invasion. Its sturdy protection shields the bustling port from erosion and damage caused by Atlantic tempests. As autumn paints Dublin with its golden hues, this snapshot captures both beauty and resilience. The crack-measuring grate acts as a diligent watchman, ensuring that any cracks are promptly detected and addressed before they become major headaches for engineers. The Great South Wall proudly showcases Ireland's maritime prowess while sheltering the harbour like an ancient fortress guarding its treasure. It is here that land meets water in perfect harmony, where river Liffey merges with the vastness of Dublin Bay. So next time you stroll along Sandymount or admire Dublin's coastal charm, take a moment to appreciate this unsung hero - the grate on duty silently measuring cracks in our beloved sea wall. Let us raise our glasses (of Guinness) to those who protect our shores and keep them intact for generations to come!
