A few older photos coming through to my Microblog timeline at the moment - I’m trying to add and update some Photo Series on Glass. The latest few are from Venice in 2019. It would be nicer if a Series link came through from Glass rather than each photo as its own post but I know that would be difficult to implement as part of automatic crossposting.
