@Cathal: I haven't planned anything yet, as I would like to get some inside ideas as where to stay, where to go and so on.
Sure thing that the causeway is the thing among photographers, and no doubt I shall have a shot or two there as well. My idea is to get there around sunrise or sunset, when it hopefully is most deserted, to get som great shots. But my main interest is the northern region, preferable some great coastline with some ruins, or whatever You would recommend. Thats why I think of someone familiar with the region to show me some of the sweet spots. I would very much like to contact You and take you up on your offer about roaming the countryside for some nice photoops.

PS: Great pics from your buddy! It seems as he like to be out at the same hours that I do. :-)
