Loc: massachusetts
Recent scans ( Epsom 600 ) of a summer cycling around Ireland.
Pic 2- Sneem, County Kerry
Pic 3- Irish mailman
Pic 5- Skellig Islands from Ring of Kerry
Pic 7- Giants Causeway
Pic 8- Dingle Peninsula
Pic 9- Milk collection
Pi 10- Croagh Patrick ( St Patricks Mt ).
These are mostly Kodachrome and a few Ektachrome. I scanned them and loaded to LR and did a tiny bit of touchup. Colors held up ok actually I thought.
Looks like no travel for me this year for awhile at least... revisiting past trips instead.

Nice shots. My wife is from N. Ireland on a dairy frame just outside of Cookstown. My relatives came from the Giants Causeway and I've been there many times. Interesting place. Very good pictures of Irish life. Had to laugh at the blokes outside the pub waiting for it to open I suspect. I always thought it funny over there seeing so many men in suits doing nothing special that would require that attire.

Really nice photos, I am getting about ready to convert a few hundred slides from military days myself. I hope my slides turn out half as good as you have!

Great shoots Steve. Takes me back to my youth. Very true to life snippets of rural Ireland in the '70's. Much changed now.

Great images to bring back memories of our trip there in 1968. Interesting that I just bought a slide scanner and have started scanning the slides from our 2-½ years of residency and travels in Western Europe. The virus arrived just after I ordered it and gives me the stay at home excuse to "get scanning"!

Steve,
Absolutely wonderful! I bicycled Ireland in 1977 myself. Your images of the people are great. I have a passion for the music now, and returned three more trips, (the last in 1993) but none were as wonderful as the first in '77. I don't think I would go again. Too much has changed, I believe. Still beautiful of course.
I suspect we could get rid of some of the dye color shift, but in some ways it is like the patina on vintage brass, a symbol of age and worth.

Beautiful shots! #2 definitely displays why Ireland is called the "Emerald Isle". My church choir visited Ireland in 2007.
