AS A NATION, we’re pretty good at giving out about the weather when it doesn’t behave itself. In fairness, we usually get dealt a pretty unfair hand in that department.

But sometimes we forget to appreciate the good days when they do come around.

Dublin-based photographer Marc O’Sullivan enjoyed a beautiful sunset over the River Liffey this evening as he snapped groups of rowers working hard in their boats.

He shared the breathtaking images with us so we thought we should pay it forward. Goodnight!

Commander Chris Hadfield also enjoyed the “clear Spring night” from his perch in the International Space Station.
