    Is it actually Kilkenny? That was my initial thought but reckoned it was too flat all round.

    The most recent ones in the thread were just taken with the camera on my Samsung Galaxy. Older ones in the thread would have been taken with a Fujifilm Finepix S1900.

    I came across this photo yesterday. It's a pretty spectacular view of the north-west of Ireland taken from 34,000 feet (just over 10 kilometres) overhead by County Down pilot Graham Mounsey en route to the US last September.



    Included is the entirety of Inishowen (Malin Head is on the extreme right of the photo) and the rest County Donegal, including Inch Island, Mount Errigal, Glenveagh, Arranmore Island, Gweebarra Bay and Sliabh Liag way off in the distance towards the horizon. Derry City can also be seen along with Magilligan Point (the bit of land jutting back into view at the bottom left of the photo). It's actually possible to see as far as Lough Erne (Fermanagh), Sligo and, I think, the Mayo Gaeltacht towards the upper left of the photo.

    Incredible.

    I was so impressed that I added some labels myself to point out various locations and landmarks around the north-west.

    'Bonfire Night 15th August 2016 in Derry' by Bernard Ward has been chosen as Ireland's best single photo by the judges of the 2017 Sony World Photography Awards: http://irishtechnews.ie/irelands-bes...graphy-awards/

    The judges of the 2017 Sony World Photography Awards have announced the photograph “Bonfire Night 15th August 2016 in Derry” by Bernard Ward, as the winner of Ireland’s National Award.

    The Sony World Photography Awards which is celebrating its 10th anniversary is the world’s largest photography competition, and the National Awards is a global program open to photographers of all abilities. It aims to find the best single photograph taken a local photographer in 65 countries. 227,596 images were entered into the 2017 Sony World Photography Awards across all competitions

    Bernard Ward’s winning image “Bonfire Night 15th August 2016 in Derry” is a notable entry and winner this year due to its somewhat controversial view. Bonfires have been part of Catholic and Protestant cultures for generations, and they’ve come under much criticism since troubles have subsided. This such instance was captured in the Catholic/ republican Bogside area of Derry on the day of the bonfire. In the picture, you can see lots of locals gathered to the left watching the youths of the Bogside build the bonfire made mostly of wooden pallets. In the foreground you see cars approaching. This bonfire stirred huge controversy as it blocked a public road.

    Bernard Ward is 34 years old, a father of one from Derry in the Northwest of Ireland. He comes from a historic city which has seen amazing changes over the past 30 years, from horrific violence as part of “the troubles” in Ireland and Northern Ireland to the relatively normal and co-operative society today. He loves to document the streets of Derry and tell the story of his hometown, its history and culture through pictures. He works as a marketing manager but his dream is to become a full-time photographer.

    Commenting on his success, Bernard says: “To win such an award like this especially in the Ireland category is such an honour for me. I enter the Sony World Photography awards every year and I have always dreamed of winning such a prestigious award. Winning this award means everything to me and makes all the years of hard work in photography worthwhile. Photography is a passion and to win an award like this is overwhelming for me. I have always admired the level of talent every year across all categories and to be considered a winner is one of my biggest achievements to date.”

    Incidentally, here are some photos (originally posted in 'Current affairs') that I took last Thursday afternoon during the procession of Martin McGuinness' coffin through the Bogside before the funeral ceremony at the nearby Long Tower Church:

    The cortège approaches the junction at Free Derry Corner with the 'Battle of the Bogside Petrol Bomber' mural in the background.


    The procession passes the back of Free Derry Corner (on the left), which has a tricolour flying from it at half-mast. A giant screen, on which the funeral procession and ceremony were broadcast live to the crowd, was erected on the front-side of Free Derry Corner.

    It is probably the apparent banality of the scene itself (contrasted with the underlying story) that was deemed so attractive. Although I would tend to agree there would have to be more striking Irish photos available...

    edit: I actually just clicked the article and it said the following:

    Looking across Lough Swilly towards Lisfannon Strand and, slightly further in the distance, Buncrana from the northern shore of Inch Island. Taken last Sunday afternoon whilst out on a cycle.


    Looking out into the Atlantic towards Inis Bó Finne, Inis Dúiche, Inis Beag and Toraigh from Machaire Rabhartaigh. Taken this afternoon.
