Spain 2014

It's good to be back on Pbase after nearly a month away ~ most of which I spent touring parts of Spain, (including Extremadura), with Carole and a couple we just love holidaying with!

Sadly, before I left, I dropped my Nikon D7100 on a road, (with my 70-200 2.8 VR lens and 2x converter attached), and didn't discover the extent of the damage until I went to use it in Spain!
So my haul of photos was not quite up to what I was hoping for, but I'm happy to say that I still came home with a bagful of reasonable images.
.
I hope you enjoy this gallery as much as I enjoyed shooting it! It really was a fabulous holiday!
