Thanks very much Scott. I also do quite a bit of bracketing where the lighting gets too difficult but they don’t get included in these temporary posts.

The roof on the church of Santa Marina is really pretty.

Murray, Murray, Murray!! How on earth do you keep up the pressure? I like to travel but have nowhere near your widespread goings. Even when I was young I don’t think I could keep up. Fantastic and such an ability with a camera, you will be known world wide.

Thanks very much Robert. I like to make the most of the opportunities because most places I will never revisit. This time took a bit of recovering when I got home, probably because I was driving 5 or 6 hours most days in Crete, Andalusia and Washington/ Oregon.
