Bare with the pretty lame post. I am currently on the road in Ireland and the Internet service is rather spotty.

So far the trip has been fun and relaxing. After landing in Dublin and spending the evening in Temple Bar (a place near and dear to my heart) we set off for the coast. Our first attempt to find a place in Wexford (south east) ended in a failed attempt of driving in circles so we ended finding lodging in the country side harbor town of Dungarvan.

After a day of exploring the town of Dungarvan we are ready to head into a more busy direction. Tomorrow we are headed to Kinsale the culinary capital of Ireland. On the way we are planning to hit Blarney Castle.

Here are a few images from my travel so far from my trusty old iPhone.

Recently I was on a business trip to Portland Oregon.  While I was there I had a few minutes to shoot some images of the old iron bridges in the city.  While the weather was not cooperative I was able to get a few shots in between the rain and mist.

All of the images above were shot with my Nikon D300 and the amazingly versatile (I never travel without it) 18-200mm VRII lens.  I know I am becoming quite the broken record on this one, but that lens has proven time and time again to be one of the best travel lens I have ever used.  Its consistently sharp, and no matter what the situation is you’ve got the right focal length for about 90% of all your travel type shots.
