A circular, stone Neoclassical building known as Mussenden Temple, perched on a grassy cliff edge overlooking the Atlantic Ocean in County Derry, Ireland. The temple features a domed roof topped with a golden urn, Corinthian columns, and a decorative frieze. A dirt path leads through a small black gate toward the stone steps of the temple's entrance. The scene is bathed in the warm, golden light of late afternoon, with a clear blue sky and soft white clouds in the background.

Happy New Year and Thank You from Panoramic Ireland, at Mussenden Temple

2025 is drawing to a close as I write this and the first days of 2026 may see snow here in Ireland.

Well that’s it for another year

2025 is drawing to a close as I write this and the first days of 2026 may see snow here in Ireland.

I would like to wish you all a Happy New Year and thank all of you who visited Ireland this year and spent time with me on tours and learning more about photography on workshops in Dublin, Antrim, Connemara and Wicklow.

I hope to see you again in 2026 and beyond, and if you haven’t been on a tour with Panoramic Ireland I would love to see you in 2026 when you visit Ireland - whether it’s your first visit or twentieth, from Wexford to Donegal, Antrim to Dingle and all points in between.

Here is one of my favourite images from 2025, golden hour light bathing the beautifully distinctive Mussenden Temple as it sits above the North Atlantic on the County Derry coastline.
