A trip to Bantry Bay, Co. Cork
I made the trip to Ireland to trace the steps of my father and uncle who marched to Macroom on Easter Sunday, 1916. Multiple conflicting orders and the absence of promised weapons kept Cork from rising, but the individual Irish Volunteers did their duty. I stayed with relatives in Bantry and got the VIP tour of West Cork, and also Cork City where my great grandfather was the first Fire Brigade Superintendent in 1877. I traveled light so I brought my Olympus E-PL7 with the pancake 14-42mm zoom. The camera didn't let me down. I shot in RAW and processed/touched up in PSCC.

Nice shots. The first is my favorite as I find it to have the best composition.

Thank you for the gracious comments.
Terrific images. Looks like the E-PL7 is a winner, in your hands.
