To ifege: Staying safe
Thanks Ian. Yes I'm staying safe so far. For once NSW is faring worse than Victoria. Hopefully this wave will pass through quickly and then die down. Just hope the hospitals can cope with the fallout.

To Royaldevon: Bees
Hi Bev,
Yes there were some bees buzzing about. There were so many flowers everywhere that they didn't congregate in any one spot but were spread around quite a bit.

To ifege: Lavender
Hi Ian,
I think its lavender, but I didn't go up close and have a sniff to verify that. It looks like it has been trimmed the way they do in the lavender fields of Provence. Vince

Hi Gert,
Thank you for that information. Originally I thought the building must be 108 floors because of its name, then I read that it is only 100 floors. So thanks for explaining that. Maybe they...

Hi Ike,

To ktanska: No telephoto
Hi Kari,
I took the photo at 73 mm zoom, in other words with almost no telephoto. This is how it looks in real life - the peak is 2400 metres above me, and 4 km away horizontally.

Hi Ian,
Just as I thought - never trust the tourist literature. However, Gran Canaria is definitely not the highest in Europe, because it's not in Europe. The Canary islands are politically part of...

To foxy: Wallaby
Hi Loong,
I don't know if they are friendly, but they are smaller than kangaroos. They probably do kick if they feel threatened. They are shy, so people do not often get close to them.
