derek897, on a very clear day we can see the Wicklow Mountains from viewpoints by the cottages in (4).
Vice-versa Yr Eifl should also be visible from your end on such days (the mountain in 1 and 4).

I forgot to add in the initial post that several of the goats have been killed around the village (last year), and sadly the offender(s) have still not been caught.

BTW, if you fancy a stay in this part of the world, the cottages in (4) are holiday cottages (usually booked during the summer months).

How do you feel it compares with the DA*16-50? Seems to be very good but is there enough difference to justify the relative costs?

I have both lenses. They both offer good IQ and are of broadly similar size and weight. It is really a question of which is more important to you - constant f2.8 or greater range. The other issue is reliability. My 16-85 has not let me down yet but the 16-50 has spent more time in repair than on the camera. Even the supposedly new upgraded SDM motor failed in days (I appreciate that I may have been particularly unlucky). So I would advise that if you really want the 16-50 buy new so that you have the guarantee. Personally I am more pleased with the 16-85.

Some lovely landscapes here. Nos. 3 and 5 are particularly nice.
If I turn LEFT out of my house here in Brentwood Essex there is a bit of a 'hill' up to the next road-- not as good scenery though as yours !! Excellent photos.

I thought that must be the Lleyn Peninsular. I stayed in that area in a holiday cottage a couple of times many years ago and loved it. I've heard that you can see the Wicklow Mountains from the top of Snowdon on a very clear day so its logical you could see them from Yr Eifl which is quite a few miles closer.

A nice set of pictures.
One slight niggle - number 4 has a slight blue cast, which makes it look a bit colder than maybe it should.
Just my opinion, of course.
Both 4 and 5 were shot using the same soft grad filter.
Thanks all.
