Holiday photos

Part 1 of our UK trip is done and I've uploaded a rough cut of photos.
Since this is a walking holiday I left the full-frame kit at home and
these were all taken with the K-3ii and either the DA 16-50/2.8 or the
55-300WR (both really superb lenses). These are all from the Isle of
Islay in Scotland (and, yes, I did a good amount of Scotch tasting
along the way).

More than a few times I've found myself wishing I'd brought the DA
12-24 (if Pentax were to make a weather sealed version of this lens
I'd buy it in a heartbeat).

Next: Getting on a train to Ulverston in the lake district for the
serious walking stage of our trip.

Great shots, like the old stone buildings

That looks like a really nice spot, and some nice photos.

The ‘out of order’ sign on the stamp machine is pretty definitive isn’t it - if they make it out of cast iron I’d say they don’t plan on fixing the machine! I’d forgotten stamp machines even existed, haven’t seen one for decades.

Very nice Mark!  I’ve noted your posts on social media have focused on performing an assessment of as many distilleries as possible in a short time period. I am glad to see that you did have time for photography as well!

We will be visiting several coastal towns in Scotland this July (in a small cruise ship, on our way to some fjords in Norway). The closest stop to Islay for us will be the Isle of Mull, just a bit further north. I am hoping for photo opportunities similar to yours.
