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.

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:

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.

He could have at least left the bus number in to help locate the area. However It's likely a "3". "5" or "9". And guessing it's a "3" as it is a bus from the Ringsend Garage.Quote:

First one looks out over the Poisoned Glen, taken from around halfway up Errigal.

Nearing the first bit of the peak, towards the end of the climb looking back down the hill.

The highest peak you can get to on Errigal. Looking towards Ranafast and Carrickfinn.
https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...e6&oe=594F712E
Happened to spot a common lizard on the way down the hill. They're probably a lot more commonly spotted than I give it credit for, but I don't recall seeing one in the wild before anyway.

An old building in Vrlika, Croatia where my wifes extended family lives and we spend some time. You can see a couple of scars from fighting but it was the shutters that caught my eye.

These markets were all lined along the side of the road by Opuzen Trg and Ploce on the drive from Dubrovnik to Split - the colours are insane.

So it's taken at a bus stop on Pearse St from the Pearse Sq side. There is a bus stop still there as it happens. And just through the window you can see a gabled roof peak and that building is still there on the West side of the resource centre.
The building on the left hand side is the St Andrew's Resource Centre.
That's too funny ;)Quote:
