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. Others showcase the charm and character of Ireland’s towns and cities, with colourful buildings, winding streets, and bustling pubs. And of course, no photo collection of Ireland would be complete without images of the country’s famous castles, monasteries, and ancient ruins, which provide a glimpse into Ireland’s rich history and heritage. Whether you’re looking for dramatic landscapes, vibrant cityscapes, or historic sites, photos of Ireland offer a glimpse into the heart and soul of this beautiful country.

A man reading the Sun newspaper on the street. He wears a baseball cap, and is probably doing the crossword as he has a pencil in his hand. The word "Fab" is seen on an inside page of the paper.

Pink Roses

Pink roses stood out against the dark bushes and overgrowth over a wall in Kinsale last summer.

Fab in the Sun

Not so much real sun, but Sun, the newspaper. A man reads it on St. Patrick’s Street, Cork. He’s probably doing the crossword.

A grey wagtail looking for food

A grey wagtail pictured in Ballincollig Regional Park during the summer. He was hopping around in the bushes next to the River Lee, when Rory spotted him, got a few photos and called me over to see. I’d never have seen him otherwise, as he’s tiny.

To be a stag in October

We went to Killarney National Park this morning to photograph the annual rutting. This is when stags come down from the mountain and look for romance and court any nearby female deer. And they’re quite vocal about it. This particular guy was on one side of the tarmac path occupied by us human photographers, and…

The little business man

A man in a suit walks between buildings in Birmingham. The area is almost deserted, except for a single figure further back.

Eircom have notions

The double phone box on Proby’s Quay is looking the worse for wear these days. This is what it looked like on a bright July day in 2021. It hasn’t improved since. Notions.

In need of a haircut?

A man walks past a barber’s shop. At an age when most men’s hair is receding or is gone altogether, he has a head of bouncing, flowing hair.

The Bells and the Hall

The tower of St. Anne’s Church, or “Shandon Bells” or “The Four Faced Liar” with the County Hall far behind it. As seen from Bell’s Field.

A man and a blank mural

In contrast to the photo yesterday of the same bench in 2015 when a mural appeared on the wall, this photo from July 2019 features a blank wall. An elderly man, with his walker sits on the same bench. I hope he made it through the COVID pandemic.

Surrounded by the sights of Cork

I wonder if this man checking his phone noticed the mural behind him in Bishop Lucey Park. In this fragment of the mural you can see the old Roches Stores building, Mangan’s Clock and Shandon Bells. You won’t see that mural there now. This is a snapshot of it from 2015.
