#FLORENCE: too popular for its own good, but often breathtakingly pretty.

#KRISTOFFER: following the “Laundry” sign from the street, I ventured further and further into the building before delightedly stopping at @titosironfist_, #Sarajevo’s Socialist Laundry. Kristoffer comes from America, and has clearly found his place surrounded by remnants of the former #Yugoslavia, keeping the values of #JosipBroz - #Tito - alive in this corner of #Bosnia. I could honestly have talked to him all day but only had a few minutes. Was excited to buy a t-shirt, though. 5 Stars. Would go again. #laundry #sarajevocity #socialism #photojournalism

#WATCHERS: it’s nine in the morning and people are focused on the fire in the hills in several direction, watching the planes drop water and wondering if they’re safe. #croatia #tucepi #fire #bushfire #wildfire

#FIRE: the hills have been on fire since yesterday. I went up there as per the previous image and by the evening things were ablaze. The next morning, firefighting planes were making circuits, scooping up seawater and dropping it onto the fires. #croatia #tucepi #coast #sea #bushfire #wildfire

#RELAXING: I have been making some extremely dull and boring pictures while on holiday, but I am finding it very relaxing. I found some viewpoints marked on the map, so went up into the hills to find them. Nothing particularly exciting to note, but a pleasant view. What I didn’t know at the time, was that the hills behind me were quite likely on fire or about to be, and we would not see that until later that evening. #croatia #tucepi #coast #sea #leicaq2

#VOLKSPARK: this section reminds me of the southern side of Hyde Park, where we played frisbee for decades. Except slightly better, as a Biergarten and cafe face the grass on the other side of the path. #hamburg #sommer #infrared #infraredphotography

#AUMÜHLE: a picture for which I’ve lost the original treatment, but it deserved more than five minutes anyway, so here it finally is on Instagram. The gardens around the house are fairly nice, and considering a summer visit. An unusual spot reminding me of the Louisiana bayou. #Germany #hamburg #pentax645z #landscapephotography #landscape #nature #naturephotography #photooftheday #travelphotography #landscapes #landscapelovers #wanderlust #travelgram #explore #adventure #naturelover #earth #outdoors #beautifuldestinations #forest #view #lake

#CHOMSKY: this is all I have on my shelf and it’s taken me 32 years, yet the great man can write this in a year. A lot of agree with, a lot to disagree with, but more than that, the ability to engage with so many complex areas is unparalleled. Between him, #StudsTerkel, #VirginiaWoolf and the late, great Mary Ellison, I can take my heroes wherever I go. #philosophy #reality #history #consciousness #integrity #brilliance #noamchomsky
