Sunset at 39,000ft

Flight QR110 to Doha. Managed to bag 1K and a sunny clear day which meant an epic view of sunset and the cities lighting up below as we make our way across Europe.

Headed back out to Huizhou again for two more weeks of start-up activities. Total flight time is about the same as London to Singapore. It feels longer though with a long drive at the end.

In 2023 we visited the beautiful Greek island of Rhodes. Part of exploration of the inner of the island was to visit Mussolini's House. The house, once beautiful, is now tumbled into ruins, perhaps allowed to do so deliberately as a mark of disrespect.

Just back from an awesome weekend in Las Vegas for the Formula 1. They put on a good show over there, and a great race.

When I've had to work over in Normandy, I've been lucky enough to stay in Honfleur, which is very very pretty (but also very very quiet - and cold - if you happen to be there in January). Looking forward to an excuse to go back!

Photos I have lied in #1

I don't do this very often. But I was hoping to take a particular iconic shot and, wouldn't you know, other people did to. So I digitally removed a couple of people from the mid-ground(?).

A trip earlier in the year to the magical Kew Gardens. We'll need to go back as there's too much to see in just one visit.
