An #IrishRail Commuter train leaving #Maynooth along the banks of a Lilly-pad-speckled #RoyalCanal in the rain. In Cavan where I grew up we referred this kind of warm drizzly ‘summer’ day as ‘a grand soft day’ — good for the grass!

The upside of the shorter days is that we get to see more sunsets on the #RoyalCanal. This pic is from this day last year. Love the reflections. #Photography #Phibsboro #Dublin.
