Nice Photos

Watching the Aussie Rules and flicking to the cricket now and then. It’s not looking good for you guys, although it appears a wicket has just falling.

That would use a helluva lot of paint, wouldn’t it?

Solutre par chance? Went up there with my 4 year old in a backpack of course in the midday heat with the sun blasting back off the limestone. Great views and great pics Rod.

Amanita Muscaria or Flyagaric, the hippies used to love consuming them to have lengthy (free) psychedelic experiences.

Winter at Manly Beach in Sydney, love these sunny crisp days, beaches are relatively quiet but still plenty of people out and about walking, cycling etc

Looks like those big swells have eased off.

yes pretty calm today- few surfers further along the beach - they might have been expecting more

Nice! What’s the temperature in this season?

The Castello di Modanella about 20km from Siena, reasonably early in the morning (it was a lot darker than it looks!)

Exactly! With a view of Vergisson in one direction, and Mont Blanc in the other.
I’ve walked up before but it was grey and cloudy that time. Much nicer on Saturday!

A few pix from being out and about today.
In the first you can just see El Hierro in the distance about 55 miles away.

"El Hierro was used in various parts of Europe for more than 500 years as the prime meridian, especially outside of the future British Empire. By the 2nd century CE, Ptolemy already considered a definition of the zero meridian based on the westernmost piece of land in the (known) world, giving a few maps with only positive, eastern longitudes.
