Kerry, on the glorious west coast of Ireland, has a lot to offer, including some of the loveliest landscapes you could wish to see, great mountains to roam in and the Atlantic Ocean, where you can see seabirds, seals, dolphins and whales only a couple of miles from the coast. On our week-long holiday, the people we encountered were delightful and full of Irish charm, and our accommodation and meals were all great. The icing on the cake was that we saw it all in great weather which,

If you bought either of them, thank you very much indeed, and if you have any comments or can do an online review,

Well, not just any pic, but one that is good enough to publish in a book of landscape photography, where the subject is right, the light is interesting and the setting is appealing. If you are photographing your neck of the woods this is relatively straightforward, as locations are close enough to visit on impulse, or when conditions are right, or simply by going for a walk (or run).
