Cocktails with a view 🍸🏛️

A nighttime view of a coastal village with white buildings, illuminated by warm lights. Above the village, a large, well-lit fortress sits on a hill with the sea visible in the background. Two cocktails with lime and ice on a table at a rooftop bar, with a scenic view of a lit-up city and hill in the background. A small bowl of snacks is next to the drinks, and a couple of modern table lamps provide subtle lighting

Alien landscape

Rocky, arid landscape at sunset with scattered shrubs and trees. A solitary tree stands in the distance under a gradient sky transitioning from blue to pink. Sparse vegetation and dry grass cover the uneven terrain.

Good morning from Rhodes ☕️

View of a Mediterranean coastal village with white buildings, a swimming pool, and lush greenery. A palm tree stands in the center, with distant mountains and the sea in the background under a clear blue sky.

Succisa pratensis, also known as devil’s-bit or devil’s-bit scabious, is a flowering plant in the honeysuckle family.

Literally hundreds of these flowers in our garden at the moment. Never noticed them before.

Close-up of a purple scabiosa flower with delicate petals and long stamens, set against a blurred green background. A field with tall grass and numerous small purple flowers, set against a backdrop of dense, green foliage and trees.
