Argus, these are wonderful sceneries. Especially horses!

Some recent pictures from Karpathos, Greece. We enjoyed good food and drink, warm water and lots of sun.... and four earthquakes (nothing big, just up to 5.3 on the Richter scale, but quite enough for me) And yes, the camera got a workout, too![]()
View from the mountains (The locals call their island the rock).
A sleepy cat. I suppose he had been partying the previous night?
There were lots of those pigeons around. We could hear them around the clock.
Lots of those around too.
Just another angle.
Pigadia harbour.
Fishing boats.
A busy bee.
Olympos. A small and old mountain village.
A good place to visit if you need a bit of physical exercise.
More to come...

Great pictures Claes. They are all fascinating. But I must say the one with the cat is absolutely marvelous. You caught it at the perfect moment. I'm sure you're a good photographer but that was very lucky.![]()

Kafka, the pictures you took are really beautiful. The first thing got into my mind seeing the lighthouse was Woolf. And the birds are so cute and marvolous.

We have a huge population of Indian ringneck parakeets in Berkshire, Middlesex and Surrey. I live on the Surrey border and we have thousands of these very exotic birds here. They were first sighted in a park in Richmond around 10 years ago and everybody was so excited about them. Now we have thousands of them. They are lovely though noisy which has changed the English suburban soundscape thoroughly, specially in the suburbs of London.
People think it is crazy but I do sometimes jump in my car and drive as far as Cornwall just to look at the sea! I go to Stonehenge quite often on Sunday evenings, just a 'little' 140 odd miles round-trip!

MUCH bigger!
