All photos posted were shot by me, usually very recently - I'm trying to make photography a habit again. Usually using a Pentax K-1 or a Fuji X-Pro2.
I find chatting in public a bit weird and uncomfortable, feel free to DM.

A pathway of wooden platforms, for people who find walking on this exotic black volcanic sand too arduous.
Their presence implies a level of civility not found on my local beach in the UK, where these would have been quickly incorporated into bonfires

I tend to avoid the #cold so I've ended up with one of the oldest (2010) shots of mine that I still actually like for #BlueSkyArtShow

La Palma turns out to be extremely photogenic, based on the first hike of this holiday, yesterday.

#BirdOfTheDay #contrast again.
Santa Barbara, 2012. Not a perfect shot. I was just taking cheesy tourist sunset photos and my settings were all wrong for birds, but it's a keeper anyway.

Couldn't find any recent shots for #WeekWForWindows , but I managed to dig this out. Tokyo, 2009, #pentax K200D. A sufficient quantity of windows.
