A rocky track on the Greek island of Samos. Taken October 2016. Every year, I have a complete break from the internet. I believe it keeps me sane.

In the mountains of the Greek island of Rhodes. Taken September 2017. Each year, I have a complete break from the internet.

Looking down at the village church; so quintessentially English! A bright start to the day, with cloud slowly populating the sky as the morning progressed.
