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 woman passes, looking in at the Bubble Tea shop I'm looking out of. Plastic bats are flying around, suspended on thing string, to celebrate Halloween.

Inside a spooky shop

Argh, the bats! The bats! Well, they’re very realistic, aren’t they? Spotted in a Bubble Tea shop in Dublin last year around this time of year.

Castlerosse Park Resort Cottage

Situated at the edge of the woods behind the Castlerosse Park Resort golf course is this small cottage. We walked by it a few weeks ago when we were in the area to photograph the rutting. There was a car parked directly outside, so it’s occupied, but it’s so solitary and in a secluded area,…

Construction at Sunset

From the top of the hotel I was staying at, I saw this lovely sunset happen and had to capture some images of it before the colour disappeared. Cranes dot the landscape, a sign of continued expansion in the Spanish tourist industry!

The sunset glow

The setting sun makes the sky glow a lovely yellow before the day ends in darkness.

Mushrooms on an old tree

Mushrooms cling to an old tree trunk in Killarney National Park.

Light speeds on the road

A bus and other traffic speed along the road at night.

Flooding in Fitzgerald Park

Fitzgerald Park in Cork City is a bit flooded after the recent rain. The children’s play area is totally flooded, as it’s lower than the surrounding ground, and the pond is overflowing onto the surrounding path. They were waiting for the River Lee to overflow about an hour later!

The Red House

A red house in Kinsale. Observant readers will recall I posted another photo of this house a few months ago.

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…
