This is from the coast of Maine... looking out at Penobscot Bay from just north of Northport. It was a particularly luminous evening and though this part of the coast of Maine is never really crowde… https://t.co/2uB6NySA5Z

So we know I am lousy at posting photographs in a routine and consistent manner. This is mostly because I tend to sit on much of my personal work without looking at it right away. I don't want to be clouded by what … https://t.co/kMZFnWffow

I came upon this #spomenik absolutely by chance. I was south of #Podgorica, Montenegro, driving to the village of Godinje on the shores of #SkadarLake to meet a tour guide & wine maker there (@winery.garnet) who knew a bit about the history of the vranac. https://t.co/HJ9RwV3fVS

Poulnabrone Dolmen on an overcast and windswept day on the Burren.
After a lovely overnight in Kinvara (and a great visit with Lily and the twins) we headed back out across the open karstic terrain in search of rocks, cheese and dolmens.

We made our way out the length of the Dingle Peninsula and by the time we got to Slea Head and Dunquin Peninsula (after more slashing rain) the sun broke through bathing Skellig Michael in warm soft light.
