This isn’t a great photo but I wanted to try out my new ND4 filter. Seems to work OK!

Pompeii
Everybody knows the story of Pompeii. However it was quite solemn to visit the ruined city, painstakingly excavated. Pictured here with the volcano that destroyed it, Vesuvius, in the background.
Fruit
Viewed from a street in Sorrento, someone has hung lots of fruit and vegetables on their balcony.
Beach huts in Sorrento
No explanation required – I just liked the colour!
Dubrovnik bridge
This grand bridge spans the bay near the port of Gruz.
Old roof tiles
If you have read the caption for the photo “Terracotta quilt“, you’ll notice I said almost all the rooves were re-tiled. This is one of the few that evaded damage in the conflict and was not replaced.
Terracotta quilt
All the tiled rooves in Dubrovnik are bright and orange, partly because the city was shelled in the Siege of Dubrovnik in 1991/2, causing extensive damage to the buildings. Almost all of the rooves have since been replaced. It also helps that no cars are permitted in the old city. Seen from the city walls, the vast array of bright, clean tiled rooves reminded me of some kind of patchwork.
