Northern coast of Northern Ireland       

Summer 1988


My then-not-quite in-laws hired a minibus and we drove (via the Stranraer-Larne ferry) to Portstewart in County Londonderry for a very pleasant and interesting holiday. I took two cameras, one permanently in my pocket. This page is devoted to odd images from that camera.   For more 'conventional' scenes, follow this link.
