Stormy day spray off the sea brings a fine double rainbow that extends below the horizon. Little is visible of the scenes beyond, the rugged Irish coastline extending beyond into the distance. But the presence of a double rainbow, seemingly floating in the view offshore, is enough to make the rainy afternoon worthy of exploring with camera especially with that…

One thing hasn't changed though, Panoramic Ireland's Dublin Photo Tours are running…

As we all know by now, Coronavirus or COVID-19 is affecting life in all parts of the world, here in Ireland the situation is no different. But the plan by the Irish Government to relax the lockdown restrictions in stages does offer hope for life to begin to return to some degree of normality. It would appear that by July…

Ireland's waterfalls are often famous, places such as Torc and Glenariff are Ireland's best known and most visited. Here, one of Ireland's lesser known and least visited waterfalls, a veil of water falling over a precipice in the Irish countryside.

Few autumn landscape scenes can be more alluring to the photographer than a woodland stream with waterfall.

This ancient, tree-lined, grass-covered lane hasn't seen much traffic except for hooves of sheep for many decades. Here it is filled with sheep and lambs in spring, nibbling the hawthorn hedge and grass - flowers escaping their graze.
