I was over to attend the Ulster GP -- motorcycle road racing on real country roads! -- and spent an extra day walking the city of Krumlin as well. I stayed with some wonderful people on a dairy farm just outside of Krumlin. I must say, it was one of the most beautiful places I've meandered around. Great people, clean and breathable air. In my short 4 day visit I managed to obtain a large number of excellent images from the motorcycle racing, the countryside, the farm, tons of great people shots ... And nothing I've ever tasted before is like having a pint of Guinness at the pub! I must return again. There's definitely something wonderful about the light. Both the lack of pollution and perhaps the water in the air make the light sparkle and the greenery very vivid. The roads are perfect for motorcycles so that's what I'll use to travel with next time I head over. :) Godfrey
