The early morning sun behind me lit up St Lazarus's Church in Larnaca, Cyprus a treat. It gets a lot busier than this during the day.

A dragonfly at the archaeological site in Paphos, Cyprus. It's always good to spot something different when birding.

A Cyprus sunrise in Larnaca earlier this week. Thanks to the clocks going back I had to get up super early to catch this one.

An Indochinese roller by the beach at Sam Roi Yot in Thailand. He hung around on an overhead wire for ages completely unfazed that I was underneath getting some decent shots from every angle. So unbothered that he was there the next day posing again!

After many adventures and good times I'm back in Copenhagen for a month or two. This was last night, enjoying a beer, good food & the sunset next to the water at Reffen

A taster tray of Lithuanian liquor, or shorts (not shots), as we call them where I come from 👍 It could be a messy Friday night 🎉😀
