Sidelighting, sunshine and shadow in the mountains from this week's visit to the wild landscapes of the West of Ireland. We have had very fine weather this week in Ireland, with Sunday being the hottest day of 2023 so far. I headed through the wide open spaces of Connemara to meet ES and JS who had arrived from the US,…
Sidelighting in Ireland's Wicklow Mountains. The scenic wilderness of the Wicklow mountain landscape is quite unlike anywhere else in Ireland, especially when combined with unusual cloud and weather patterns. Here, sidelighting from late evening sunshine breaks through high cloud and illuminates the remote valleys. 2023 is a good year to visit Ireland, join Panoramic Ireland to photograph in Wicklow as…
We're big fans of sunsets here at Panoramic Ireland, you'll find plenty of images of the evening golden hour throughout the site. It seems that someone with artisitic skills and a spray can in Dublin is also a fan, after painting this sagely advice on a wall in the city centre of Ireland's capital city. Watch More Sunsets Than Netflix!…
You can never guarantee snow in Ireland but it does snow a little every year even if only in the mountains. Here, the famous MacGillycuddy's Reeks with Carrauntoohil the highest peak at 1038.6 metres above sea level, it is Ireland's highest mountain and only one of three peaks that top 1,000 metres. The snow line can be seen easily and…
This week has seen plenty of cold weather again, nothing too cold but enough for ice, frost and, in some parts of Ireland, snow. So we headed into the mountains, to photograph some of the ice and frost, no snow here. Here, on the climb towards the ridge and peak there was plenty of white on the hard forestry road.…
Winter is a perfect time for photography in Ireland, there are stormy days and calm days like here in this image - days with bright golden sunshine. The Mournes are one of my favourite places to photograph in Ireland, situated in County Down, about an hour south of Belfast; Slieve Donard, pictured here, reaches 850m above sea level and is…

Reflections from Dublin's Custom House

Written by
Dublin's Custom House is no stranger to the pages of Panoramic Ireland, the iconic structure was finished in 1791 and has been probably Dublin's most recognisable building ever since. Architect James Gandon designed and oversaw the construction of the Custom House, literally the place where taxes or customs were paid on good coming in to and out of Dublin. Built…

Saint Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin

Written by
Sunset on Saint Patrick's Cathedral, one of Dublin's most famous buildings. Founded on the site of Saint Patrick's conversion of a local pagan to Christianity in the 5th century, the first reference to the site dates from the 9th century but it is 1212AD before the church becomes a cathedral. The original tower was destroyed and rebuilt in 1370, the…
