Feeling very fortunate to start the year off working remotely from the beautiful setting of Venice in Italy 🇮🇹

#Venice #RemoteWork #Italy

Sunshine and good spirits here in Mersin, Turkey 🇹🇷

Only a few hundred kilometres behind this beautiful butterfly is the Syrian coastline. Moving along the horizon to the right you have Lebanon, Israel and then Gaza.

My heart goes out to all those struggling in the Middle East 🇵🇸🇸🇾🇱🇧

Now that looks like humanity is going in a positive direction 🚀💫

Well that’s a cheery start to the day 😅

Any positive news?

The source made me laugh 😅

I had to Google the definition, amongst other things I read “A Waning Gibbous Moon phase is a time to look inwards and re-evaluate your goals.” 😅

What a convenient timing with New Year approaching 💫

The Dutch would be proud 🇳🇱

Probably would never have happened if the princess wasn’t locked up in the first place 👸🏰

Kızkalesi castle in Mersin

Legend has it that a king was warned by a fortune teller that his daughter would die at the age of 18.

He built this glorious castle to protect his princess. Upon her 18th birthday they threw a party to celebrate.. a snake was hidden in the grapes and killed her 🐍

Heaven & Hell (Cennet-Cehennem)

As you approach the caves along the access road from the Mediterranean coastal highway, you’ll see the lofty walls of a huge Temple of Zeus erected here in homage to the king of the gods.

Beautiful, the moon looks so huge! How is that happening?
Is this taken with a regular camera, or is it massively telescopic?

Where can I buy this image?

Thanks for sharing 🙏

Merry Christmas 🎄

May everyone’s day be filled with happiness and laughter. Take a moment to realise how fortunate some of us are.

Not everyone can wake up today in safety. Peace and stability is something we shouldn’t take for granted ❤️ 🇵🇸🇸🇾🇱🇧🇺🇦

Thank you 🙏

Yes, they just had the leader of Hamas in Cairo to try and help negotiate a cease fire, but honestly it will take a lot for the Egyptians to open up the Sinai to Palestinians.

I think Israel is going to struggle in the upcoming years. The way they are attacking Gaza will piss off lots of Arabs.

The Egyptian government is terrified of the Sinai Peninsula becoming a Palestinian refugee camp and will therefore not easily allow refugees to enter Egypt.

The poor Palestinians are being pushed South in the Gaza Strip but have nowhere to go.

It’s just awful, I’m not sure what Israel’s long term strategy is here but my feeling is things will not end well for them…

Israel has waged one of this century’s most destructive wars in Gaza The damage in Gaza has outpaced other recent conflicts, evidence shows. Israel has dropped some of the largest bombs commonly used today near hospitals.

Brilliant, I hope to see this light show in person one day 🌈

Captured with a regular RGB camera?

Awesome 👏

When we look at the Leo star formation, are some of the “stars” actually these galaxies?

Surprisingly nice Christmas tree in a country you wouldn’t expect to celebrate such festivities 🎄🇹🇷

Thank you for sharing these photos, they are inspirational 🙏

This is so cool!!
Is this the raw image or do you post process the data?

Can’t wait to see Jupiter’s moons 🫶

Beautiful 🎄

Interesting, I thought Italico Brass was the style 😅

You are a fountain of knowledge!

Is Gorizia near Alto Adige?

It looks more impressive than this pathetic attempt at a Christmas decoration 😅

Kek Delft is just a beautiful place to have breakfast 🫶

Beautiful, who was the artist behind this amazing piece of work? 👩‍🎨

This is the beauty 🌱
