The green roads or lanes of Ireland are impressive but can often be quite hard to find. They are unlike other small country roads in Ireland, they don't have a metalled surface, they weave between fields through the Irish landscape but often have become disused or paved over. These green roads often would have been routes between townlands, forming part…
The year 2024 has certainly blessed us with plenty of opportunity to photograph the Northern Lights or aurora borealis here in Ireland. Last night's amazing display coincided with my visit to a calm west of Ireland lake, photographing throughout the evening in different directions to make the most of the ever-changing celestial light show that is the aurora. I wasn't…
A calm evening close to sunset with cloud obscuring the best of the western sky over the edge of Ireland. Yet it's still a scenic view as a few breaks in the cloud allows the orange-red sun rays through to briefly illuminate the surface of the Atlantic Ocean. Panoramic Ireland's photography tours and workshops are running all through autumn, winter…
Morning sunlight somewhere behind the clouds in the west of Ireland. Before the heat of the day, low cloud and fog sit in the valley in front of the heather-clad mountains. Photography in Ireland is always a mystery, the weather forecast may say good weather or bad weather but the day, and a journey through the countryside, often reveals a…

Blue Hour Over the Atlantic, Ireland

Written by
A bright sunset behind deep cloud over the Atlantic fades to blue as night sets in on Ireland's west coast, the Wild Atlantic Way. And it was a wild night on the Atlantic with the wind blowing, clouds forming and the cold spread of night after a long day of photography of Ireland's wild landscapes. This was not a disappointing…
In the depths of the Irish countryside, the sun rises slowly illuminating the rugged, mountainous countryside. Clouds lift off the valley floor, wisping along the steep slope of the mountains as the early morning sunlight highlight the quartzite rocks. Such scenes make some of my favourite landscape photography images. Empty of people, early in the day or late in the…
The razorbill is a native seabird to Ireland and to Scotland which is where this image is from, over on Mull just up the coast from my home county of Antrim right in the north east corner of Ireland. Related to the puffin, the razorbill can often be seen nesting and breeding in colonies that include puffins, as well as…
Dublin is a good place for street photography, full of character in its people and its buildings. Often in the streetscape itself although some difficulty exists throughout much of the city centre with visual intrusions. This scene is a good example, a classic image of a cobbled street filled with old buildings and the famous Guinness gatebeing passed by two…
Intense double rainbow arcing over Doe Castle and the sands of Sheephaven Bay in Donegal on Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way. Doe Castle dates to the 1420s and was home of the McSweeneys, a clan originally from Scotland who came to Ireland as mercenary fighters known as gallowglasses. The name Doe Castle is an anglicisation of Caisleán na dTuath which means…
January and February are months that see the beginning of colour in the Irish countryside, in gardens and in hedgerows but also in woodlands. Here, a little patch of fresh green and white from snowdrops Galanthus nivalis known as Plúirín sneachta in Irish. As I spent the first weeks of 2024 photographing Atlantic rainforest in the west of Ireland, natural…
