Photos of Ireland are often characterized by the country’s stunning landscapes, rich history, and unique culture. From the rugged coastline and majestic cliffs to the rolling hills and verdant valleys, Ireland’s natural beauty is a favourite subject of photographers around the world. Many photos capture iconic landmarks such as the Cliffs of Moher, the Ring of Kerry, and the Giant’s Causeway, which draw visitors from around the globe.

Abandoned Train Station

The changing face of Cork City

The changing face of Cork City O’Flynn Butchers used to operate from this shop until very recently. With the influx of immigrants into Ireland, North Main Street has become a lot more interesting with shops dedicated to the cuisine of other cultures!
