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 in a suit walks between tall buildings in Birmingham

A double phonebox looking pretty beat up. The phones belong to Eircom, but "NOTIONS" stickers are stuck on it.

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.

The Colours of Culture Night

A long exposure photo of a street with a passing bus that says, “Culture Night” on the front captured in maddening, disorganising streaks of colour.

Red Clouds at Sunset

Clouds in the sky are lit up by the sun after it has set. They’re a vivid red thanks to the light travelling through the thick atmosphere just beyond the horizon.

A Masked Break

At the height (one of them, anyway) of the COVID19 pandemic in July 2020, someone takes a break on the street. He still wears his mask, despite being outside and nowhere near anyone. Numbers of COVID19 infections are rising again, unfortunately. Schools are back after the summer. It’s so depressing.

Boolaboom at the GPO

Boolaboom, a “super-sized brass and percussion big-band” played on Oliver Plunkett Street, in front of the GPO and they were great!
