The little bit of snow we have had in recent days in Ireland has now gone, melted more by heavy rains than warming temperatures. Today saw some bright and sunny winter clear skies but also almost-night winter sleet and rain brought by thick, dark clouds. Here, in the image above this afternoon, a weather front spreads across the green Irish…

From a high vantage point in the drumlin country of County Armagh, I spotted a large plume of smoke heading into the atmosphere. At first I thought it must be an industrial unit on fire, because of the sheer volume; this was no chimney fire. As I descended to lower ground, I could see that it was coming from the…

The Sun Goes Down, Sunset in the Mountains of Ireland
Written by Darren McLoughlin
Sunset in the mountains, Ireland, the sun goes down. Valley lakes reflect the last of this day's light as the sun edges towards our apparent horizon on the mountain ridge; glints of brightness in the dark from quartzite rocks. Thin Lizzy's haunting final single The Sun Goes Down is about more than this quotidian natural event, yet as one of…

Autumn is well and truly here in Ireland. We have now passed the autumn equinox by around six weeks, with six weeks to go to the shortest day of the year. Temperatures are dropping along with the shortening day length, but we do have clear blue skies this week. Autumn is a time of colour of course, so woodlands and…

Written by Darren McLoughlin
Go Mall / Slow - It kind of looks like travel is beginning to come back to a sort of normality in Ireland, from Monday 10th May 2021. With an incredibly slow COVID-19 vaccine rollout and the world's longest lockdown, ranked also as the most strict in Europe, next week (from Monday 10th of May) sees Ireland allow nationwide travel.…

Snow in the Mountains, Ireland January 2021
Written by Darren McLoughlin
It's still winter for now, just for a day as according to Irish tradition the 1st of February sees the start of spring on Saint Brigid's Day. Ireland has had some snow, as in the image above, this winter but not as much as Britain. This is usual, Ireland typically receives less extreme weather than Britain where there has been…

Written by Darren McLoughlin
Well, the time has finally arrived, it's time for Panoramic Ireland's final post for 2020. The year started so well, with a lot of promise then quickly descended into a state of...not so good. So it's time to bring some hope into the new year and look forward to a better year, starting with January. I would normally do a…

Summer Sunshine in Ireland, August 2020 - Cancer Checkup Ahead of Storm Ellen
Written by Darren McLoughlin
A fine day over part of Ireland today, and a lot of rain too ahead of Storm Ellen which will bring strong winds to the west and south of the island. I was in both parts, rain and sun. I've had my first CT scan of 2020 and bloods taken for tumour marker tests - again the first of this…

Life in some ways during the current lockdown due to Coronavirus / COVID-19 is continuing as normal, at least in the countryside. Here sheep roam the fields, one field actually, this triangle-shaped field on the edge of the mountains. A large tree stands guard over the small patch of land, and along with most of the low-level trees here, remains…

The mightiest tree in the forest, an Irish woodland. A recent visit through an Irish woodland saw me find and photograph the mightiest tree in the forest, pictured here. It can't be done, to cut down this tree with a herring - I thought to myself. Well, I did find a shrubbery before finishing up on my quest to photograph…

It has been a sad old year, 2019. News broke in 2018 that Google Plus, the much derided social network, would close in April 2019. January also saw me diagnosed with cancer, have a tumour removed and in March receive chemotherapy. Both of these things have it seems coincided.

Sunset from one of my favourite vantage points, looking west towards the setting sun. It has been a difficult year so far, 2019, a diagnosis of cancer in January, an operation to remove a large tumour and this week, at the end of March, chemotherapy. At each stage as throughout the past 20 years, photography has been a big part…
