The west of Ireland is one of Panoramic Ireland's favourite places to photograph, often the coast is preferred but sometimes, in cloudy conditions, the valleys of the ancient mountains are more scenic.
Here, in County Mayo, sunshine moves through the valley from the steep, rocky sides to the lakey valley floor.
Join me, Panoramic Ireland, to photograph in the west of Ireland.
Panoramic Ireland really enjoys photographing in Cork and the Kino has always been a colourful place on Washington Street, the main thoroughfare from the city centre towards the university.
The Kino was a cultural hub in the city but unfortunately was finished off by Covid and the lockdowns, now it hosts some Phoenix Nights themed events.
Seen here in better days with fine street art before the pandemic and a lockdown that was the most restrictive in the world.

In fairness, Dublin's Phoenix Park did see 33C in 2022, the second highest temperature recorded in Ireland after the record 33.3C in Kilkenny set in 1887.
I'm not complaining, the stormy weather was much more interesting for photography than sunny, warm and hazy heatwave conditions would have given; crashing waves showing the power of the Atlantic as it meets the geological landscape of these cliffs.
Indeed these cliffs as you see them rise steeply for 100 to 120m above the deep blue ocean below, the rocks here are amongst Ireland's oldest, dating to the Pre-Cambrian.
JL arrived with a slight delay, five minutes so not too bad, but his baggage, as well as half of the flight's baggage, did not arrive.
It was a fine evening, alone in the countryside with only birds and the sound of the wind to disturb the silence.
Although we are close to midsummer, there are still plenty of fine summer evenings like these to photograph in Ireland for 2022.
Join me to photograph in places like this or in urban Dublin, Belfast, Cork.
For availability check out the booking pages on the site or send me an email with your dates, places and interests.
Recent weeks have seen me photographing nightlife rather than wildlife at many concerts in Dublin and Belfast, including Whitesnake, Queen and Bryan Adams.
