Images of Ireland

Images of Ireland is a travel photography eBook that features a wide range of images captured during a 4 week self-driving tour of Ireland and Northern Ireland. The eBook provides some general observations regarding traveling in Ireland, as well as a basic outline of our daily itineraries.

The majority of Images of Ireland is dedicated to over 400 original photographs, along with corresponding location and EXIF data. We did not do any sightseeing or photography in cities like Dublin, Belfast, Londonderry, Galway, Limerick or Cork.

We much prefer touring through more rural and remote areas. As a result the majority of the images in the eBook are landscapes as well as some architectural photographs captured in many areas of Ireland that are not visited as frequently by tourists.
