While in Ireland last September, my wife and I went on a tour of set locations used on the Game of Thrones. The ones we visited are located in County Antrim in Northern Ireland. The day started poorly with rain, drizzle and generally poor lighting, but being on a tour you can't really pick and choose the optimal time for photography. I cleaned these ones up as bests I could and I doubt I will be selling them, but they sure make nice memories.
Dunluce Castle - Better known as Pyke Castle, home of the Greyjoys of the Iron Islands. It looks a little different without the CGI effects
Ballintoy Harbour and surrounding countryside - Easily recognizable as the main port of the Iron Islands, when Theon returns and meets his sister for a memorable homecoming. Season 2 - Episode 2
Larrybane Quarry - Renly Baratheon's camp from Season 2 - Episode3 (we meet Breanne of Tarth). Actual quarry is off to the right, but filled with people and wasn't really all that photogenic. But the coastline was.
Finally The Dark Hedges - at the very end of Season 2 - Episode 1, Arya is escaping King's Landing with Gendry Baratheon on the back of a cart. We were told it was the only time this location was used for filming but has become one of the most photographed places in Northern Ireland.

Nice images. You could, in Photoshop easily clone out the walkers on the path to create a unique image. Just sayin.

I tried that but it created unwanted artifacts for the people farthest away and my wife wanted me to keep the couple in the foreground.
Great shots. The North Antrim coast or 'Causeway Route' should be on everyone's itinerary of Ireland. I hope you got to see the Giant's Causeway, the Rope Bridge and Bushmills Distillery on your trip.
Wonderful tour - thanks for sharing!
Great tour. Looks like you had fun.

We did stop at the Giant's Causeway be it not the distillery (drove past it!) or the rope bridge. You can see the rope bridge in the background of the picture taken at the quarry.
I enjoyed them very much. My tour of Ireland did not include that vicinity.

When, in PS, you selected, did you choose Edit\Fill\Content Aware? I've had incredible luck cloning out unwanted stuff with Content-Aware Fill.

I did. When I try to remove the people in the back though, the trees and bushes start blending into the roadway to the point it no longer looks natural. Almost all of the other photos have had people or objects edited out of them but for some reason that one just doesn't cooperate.
I'm also using PS 5.1 so that may also be part of the problem. I have heard the editing feature is a little more intuitive in PS 6.
