The Birthday present
It's settled then...don't expect anything to go as planned. Midday, fog, never ending flocks of tourists, Italians, Spaniards or Americans, some too young, some irresponsible as they were leaning too close to the cliff's edge and all of them in your shot, not saying "excuse me"... A very rugged landscape, you look for the best possible angle, giving the above conditions as you try to get away from the known official trails. No chance for a shot. Above all, you still enjoy it and somehow, grateful for being there in such a colourful setting, on such a short notice, knowing what to expect from the beginning and above all, you try not to complain. And when you least expect it, something amazing happends. You relax a bit, you just let everyone else be...and you take one more look. This photo opportunity was almost handed on a plate. I never expected to see the famous Cliffs of Moher Stack pipping just over the edge of the grass. I have never seen this angle. I know I was looking for a different approach because this place has been photographed a lot. I got my reward...(say 'thank you' and end it!)

No fishing today
This is a timeless location, very picturesque and representative for Ireland. And very accessible. Even for swimmers. There were four adventurers in the frame and I had to wait for them to clear the shot.

Sleeping Giants
This wasn't my idea. On that beautiful sunny December afternoon, we were walking along the quays in Howth. At some point, another photographer was taking pictures into the sun. I noticed him throwing questioning looks at my camera. I didn't know why, but my wife told me later, that he was also using a Pentax. Wow, another Pentaxist, we are so rare. So he was actually curious about the lenses I was using. It was funny, just like two motorists "measuring" their equipment. Anyway, he got a great idea of photographing boat silhouettes. Thank you!

Deadliest Catch - Irish Fishing
I'm a regular visitor of Howth Marina. But this was the first time i saw this many fishing boats. And their colors. Sunny weather and stand still waters. Everybody is resting.
