There is nothing like a blast of warm, sunny weather to get people in a good mood! The children at Little Bo peep creche, above, took part in Danone’s Big Toddle for Barnardo’s fundraising event.

Meanwhile, the third Docklands Maritime Festival took place over an extraordinarily hot June Bank Holiday weekend. The free event featured a fleet of historic Tall Ships including the replica famine ship the ‘Jeannie Johnston’.

There were plenty of market stalls selling everything from crafts, clothing and jewellery to gourmet meats, cheeses and breads. There was also musical entertainment and an outdoor exhibition by local artists.

Two great local landmarks, the Poolbeg Lighthouse and Sandymount Strand are brought to vivid life by master photographers Peter Donovan and Marko Hauke.

These and 300 other outstanding photos will be exhibited in Photo2006 at the Dublin City Library, Pearse Street from 5 July to 29 July. The Library is open all days except Sunday. Entry is free!
