The Mountains of Mourne is a wonderful old Irish song. Did Don McLean write another or did he just perform the old song?

Correct, he done a version of it as you say.

A very, very old song too. I just read the lyrics and to be honest they don't mean anything to do with the mountains

I used to sing the song often. I think it was an English music hall song sung by Irish entertainers mainly for other Irish working in England.

But they do sweep down to the sea, don't they? Not like "Bluebirds over the white cliffs of Dover" (there are no Bluebirds in UK).

Ray, the DA15 is great for making cars look good, it even made mine look good. I used a Marumi Exus polariser on mine and it really made the blue metallic paint shine and removed the reflections from the windows.

Thanks for the advice. I had not thought of using a polariser...but I should have as I have one in my bag. The DA15 also allows one to get closer to the cars which helps to keep the crowds out of frame.

The DA 15mm is my favorite Pentax lens, even though I have K-1.
