Following a week under blazing mediterranean sun I have acquired no less than 6 brand spanking new freckles in a sea of red (and soon to be peely) skin. I’ve a marginally rested head full of mental images of clear seas and silliness - some of which I captured for perusal on the ever-mighty flickr. [...]
