Happy Saturday!

Last year my wife and I walked part of the Camino de Santiago with a couple of friends. This year we decided to walk the Dingle Way, on the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry, in the west of Ireland. We walked about 115km over 6 days. We carried day-packs (and cameras) but the rest of our luggage was transported for us from lodging to lodging (mostly B&Bs). We were very lucky with the weather, though we did get some rain. The landscape and scenery were stunning and every day was different. Here are some of the hundreds of photos I took on the trip. I took my K5 and my DA 16-85, which I used 95% of the time. I also brought my DA 35mm Ltd., which I used a little bit. I was really happy with camera and both lenses.

Horses and their rather fancy stable:


It's lambing season and there are sheep and lambs everywhere. Evidently France is the biggest market for Irish lamb:


Dunmore Head and the Atlantic:


Surveying their domain:


We walked along some spectacular beaches and saw very few people:

Marvellous! I'd love to do both of those walks. Those photos really advertise to me why I want to do so. The Dingle loop and the ring of Kerry are perhaps the most stunning scenery I've seen.

Wonderful landscapes and scenery. I'm not sure that I could make a trek like that but I am glad that you can. It would be hard to make progress with such beautiful scenery to photograph. Nice work!

I have the 16-85 also. It is excellent.

Lovely picture series of old Ireland.

Fabulous images of what certainly appears to be a fabulous walk.
That closeup shows that 35 macro to be a very fine lens indeed!
