Mayo & Connemara, Ireland - August 2009 : In August we were on our way West once again. This time we stayed near Leenane (the wettest place in Ireland by repute) which sits at the head of Ireland's only fjord. Our hosts were our old friends, Keith and Jane Railton from Coventry, England. Keith had just finished a cookery course at Ballymaloe, so he put his skills to good use. All shots with digital Leica M8, 35/1.4 Summilux, and a 50 year-old 85/2 Nikkor P.
