Stepping lightly in Ireland

Lindy Ackerman of Dana Point was hoofing it along the Dingle Peninsula in southwest Ireland in August 2004 when this cliff-side scene caught her eye. So she caught it on camera — a Canon Elph — at just the right moment. “We saw these bluish figures from afar, and then I realized they were sheep,” the 19-year-old said. She was on a two-week driving vacation with her mother and some friends.
