The Armin Grewe Homepage
The Islay Walking Week 2009 took place 11-17 Apr 2009. The pictures below can be used for any reporting about the week. They are raw pictures straight from the camera and might still need some clean up / post processing before being used.

I would appreciate it if you credit the pictures with my name (Armin Grewe) and ideally with a link to one of my Islay sites (either www.islayblog.com or www.armin-grewe.com/islay)

My own first impressions from the week can be found at my blog IslayBlog.com under 14/Apr/2009: WalkIslay 2009 - The First Half and 19/Apr/2009: WalkIslay 2009 - The Second Half.
