Just off the track through the snow, I found tracks and what looked like a good spot for a photograph so I headed up slope and into the deeper snow.

Only a fox had been through this part of the mountains since snow blanketed the heathery hillsides with fine, deep white powder.

I wandered for a while, photographed and spent time listening to the sounds of nature.

Exploring Ireland is filled with moments like these and other countless, priceless moments that make a visit to the Emerald Isle so special.

Join me to photograph in the snow, on long summer evenings, with autumn foliage or spring greens.

Dublin's Ha'penny Bridge is well known to locals and visitors alike, built in 1816 to span the River Liffey it has carried pedestrians for over 200 years.

See it above in Panoramic Ireland's 360-degree panoramic or photosphere.

Evening in Dublin as the stormy post-sunset light slowly turns to night via storm clouds spreading across the sky over the Irish capital's River Liffey and its modern structures - The Samuel Beckett Bridge, Convention Centre and others.

This is a place that I have photographed often but it never looks the same twice.

To join Panoramic Ireland, that's me, on a photography tour of Dublin and learn how to make panoramic images like this then find out more here.

Autumn is here, the leaves are changing colour, the weather is changing from warm and summery to blustery and showery, the evenings are closing in and it's looking great!

A Western Panorama from Panoramic Ireland

The shadows of two walkers can be seen traversing a ridge between two mountains in the west of Ireland in this image from my Panoramic Ireland series. The shadows belong to me and a visiting photographer, on a photography tour of Northern Ireland initially we then headed on to Sligo, Galway and Mayo in the west of Ireland extending the tour by four days.

Antrim Photography Experience

I wrote about a recent photography workshop on the Antrim Coast with two Sicilians, see here - we went along the coast, photographing waterfalls, green fields, rocky coastline and of course the Dark Hedges. This is real landscape photography territory.

Panoramic Ireland meets the President of Ireland

I recently had the opportunity to attend the Festival Interceltique du Lorient, the largest gathering of celtic nations in the world. Held every year in southern Brittany, the festival is attended by almost one million visitors over its ten day run in August in the French town of Lorient.

Wicklow Mountains Panorama

The Wicklow Mountains lie close to Dublin and for many of the millions who live in the Greater Dublin area these mountains are their piece of wilderness. And what a place to take a journey to, escaping the busy city streets and getting into the Wicklow Mountains can be done in less than an hour.

Slive Gullion Panorama

Slieve Gullion is the highest mountain in County Armagh, Northern Ireland's smallest county. Situated in South Armagh the area is one characterised by rugged beauty.

The original print image is over 70 inches wide at print quality, that's 1.8 metres!

Panorama taken at sunset in the west of Ireland. This is one of many panoramic images of Ireland's West that I have been taking recently. In a previous post I explained what makes a panoramic image panoramic.
