#picoftheday reflects a sad goodbye (for now) to my favorite person (dog), who's staying in the UK for the foreseeable. I'll miss him infinitely.

#picoftheday is this mighty assembly of windmill rotor blades ready for shipment across Europe from the port of Le Havre. How anyone can find windmills ugly is beyond me.

Stepped into Narnia for today's #picoftheday. A sculpture of Aslan at the CS Lewis Memorial Square in Belfast.

Took a lovely 12 mile hike in the forest around the cute Highland town of Alness, and found this pretty fairy bridge.

High winds meant an aborted shore day for Norwegian Dawn, so no adventures in Edinburgh for me (or 2,000 pissed off pensioners). Here's the closest we got, taken from the Firth of Forth.

It's this little dickhead's fifth birthday. As a fully grown adult I did my fatherly duty and brought him his first beer. He kinda loved it but now he stinks. Happy birthday, Barney! 🎁

Started 2025 meaning to post mindful pics summarizing each day. Life took a detour. Trying again. Hartlepool's Steetley Pier was built to pipe salty sea water into dolomite to make magnesia for steel furnaces. This relic of a bygone industry was the site of today's walkies #picoftheday #steelworks

For business reasons I Googled famous people whose birthdays are next week. I don't know who's been upvoting this shit but sorting the "celebs" by "most popular" is giving all kinds of fucked up vibes.
Screenshot of famous people's birthdays from bornglorious.com, showing the birthdays in week commencing May 19th. Queen Victoria, Jeffrey Dahmer and Bob Dylan are the top three, sorted by popularity.

A quirky #picoftheday is three countries and two continents in one eyeline, taken from the port of #Gibraltar aboard #EmeraldPrincess. #UK to the left, #Spain to the right and #Morocco straight ahead. Also here is where the #Mediterranean Sea meets the #Atlantic Ocean ⛵

The UK territory of Gibraltar is left of frame, centre of frame are the hills of Morocco, and on the right is Spain

Enjoyed a beautiful hill walk today, from the port at La Seyne Sur Mer, Toulon. The Mediterranean coastline is so beautiful in this part of France.

A belated #picoftheday from yesterday represents the unashamedly classical nature of Italian markets, where one can find everything from Anchovies to Zebra-print dog collars and everything in between. This is the Mercato Delle Vettovaglie in #Livorno

For someone who travels so much, I rarely "do" touristy shit, but I enjoyed strolling around #Bordeaux this morning and snapped this pic of the Monument aux Girondins, a symbol of liberty, equality and fraternity

I'm having an atypically restful Sunday, so #picoftheday represents a sunny poolside date with #JackReacher

24 hours of intense rainfall in the Dordogne has resulted in a very swollen and moody river. But ☀️ is on its way!

#picoftheday represents the indescribable and unparalleled emotions of an introvert when hearing "cabin crew, boarding complete" accompanied by this stunning vista:

I enjoy unexpected juxtapositional urban experiences, like meeting these frickin' gigantic pigs living their best life in Wythenshawe Park

Kid hates the journey but he loves the destination. Barney's train ride today will take him to his nanny Mandy's in #Shrewsbury. At least he can catch some rays on the platform while we nervously wait for the @transportforwales.bluesky.social #train at #Stockport.

90% of the time Barney is cute and demure, but when the ball comes out he goes from darling to dickhead in about 0.4 seconds 🤣
