David, your pictures are fantastic. Isle of Skye seems like the place to be :)

Akira - "Lallans" = Lowlands (of Scotland), and the language spoken there. It was a dialect of English, but with many, many differences of vocabulary.

Dave, thanks for the additional explanation.  I looked into wiki and was intrigued even more.  Forgot to mention, #7 (Dawn) is my favorite from the Day 2.

Thank you, Guenther, Jakov, Børge and Akira.

Jakov - Ok - I've stopped.  8) 8)   But I'm glad you like my Scotland.

Guenther - that was in PP. I had difficulty with that image and only got a satisfactory print tonight after several attempts.

Dave - it looks like your 18/2.8 Zeiss lens was your most favoured lens. It certainly produced some dramatic images!

Mike - it's very interesting that you should say so, because I sold my *Zeiss 21mm* about a month ago!! The reason was that it was really no better than my WA zoom at 21mm, but the zoom gives you the complete range from 18 to 35. I do think I have an exceptionally good 18-35mm AFS G. I boxed up the Zeiss and pt it away for 6 months, to see if I missed it at all; when I didn't, I put it on eBay. Your post is some kind of confirmation that at the fairly large-sized jpegs I send to the forum, there is no detectable loss of file-quality - thanks!!

Ah, interesting. The 18-35mm AFS G did give excellent results, and obviously 18mm was a very useful FL for your trip. My 17-35/2.8 has just died after years of squeaking. I should look at the 18-35mm AFS as a replacement.
