Sally Gap (Wicklow Mountains National Park, IRELAND)


My very first picture is going to be the very last. I took it 3 days ago in Ireland with my Kodak Z1250.
I you know what camera is, that means that you have already realized that I am just an amateur with a compact camera, but I spec to take some classes in the future and learn more about photography
