After a little nap Luka was happy enough to continue his inquisitive stare directly at me sat comfortable on his rock.
A nice moment shared with 4 month old Pasha. Having already had a good opportunity to photograph his brother Mischa, Pasha was wondering what it was all about and lay in the shade staring straight at me for a number of minutes.
So having decided to get to grips with my macro lens the old school oil and water attempt was made....needless to say I need some more practise to master this!
Lottie the baby white rhino at Colchester Zoo. Casually running around and terrorising the other rhinos it was quite amusing to watch.
The 90m light tunnel connecting Kings Cross to St Pancras Square. Interesting to see first thing in the morning without hoards of tourists swamping the area.
Whilst on our long weekend we were very fortunate to be upgraded to a suite in our hotel. The view from the suite looked like this and was stunning.
A throwback capture from Banham Zoo of a bald eagle that was more than happy to have his photo taken, and then decided to stare me out...
Shortly after brother Luka ventured out in front of the crowd sister Lena made her way out for a bit of playtime.
After waiting for what felt like an age on a cold Sunday in Colchester zoo one of the red Panda Cub's finally turned to face me for a split second.
Whilst walking around in Gdansk, we opted to take a subway under the main road and found this musician horsing around :)
So having spent a morning out with the camera Taiga and her cubs, Mischa, Pasha and Tatana were all feeling very photogenic!
A very random building not too far away from Covent Garden whilst walking from the Holborn underground station. Interesting design and made me look up!
Another great day shooting with the Amur tiger cubs. Pasha as always feeling very photogenic and willing.
The road between the camps in Birkenau, a harrowing and lasting image that cannot easily be forgotten.
Luka and Lena appeared after waiting in the chilly wind for around 40 minutes. Once in sight they quite casually plonked themselves on a log and sat in the sun watching on.
The Lockheed Hudson general reconnaissance bomber first flew on 10 December 1938, and was the military version of the Lockheed 14 Super Electra which, in turn, was derived from the Lockheed 10 Electra. Later in 1938, the Hudson was ordered for the RAAF and the first aircraft, A16-1, was received at No 2 Aircraft Depot on 9 February 1940, and the last, A16-247, on 20 May 1942.
By August 1940, Hudsons of Nos 1 and 8 Squadrons had deployed to Malaya and these aircraft made the first RAAF retaliative missions against the Japanese on 8 December 1941. Hudsons continued to strike back during the following months of adversity and wreaked tremendous damage on enemy ships and landing forces. In the Pacific area, Hudsons served with Nos 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 23, 24, 25, 32 and 38 Squadrons, while RAF-serialled Hudsons operated with No 459 RAAF Squadron in the Middle East. With the introduction of Beauforts, the Hudsons were gradually relegated to communication and training duties.
RAAF Hudsons included Mks I, II, III and IV. Mks I and II had different airscrews, and the Mk I carried a spinner. Mk IIIs were fitted with 1200 hp Wright Cyclones, and carried an additional ventral gun and two beam guns; Mk IVs were fitted with 1050 hp Pratt and Whitney Wasps. One all-silver Hudson, A16-142, was conspicuous during the war years, and another, A16-214, was used for airborne lifeboat experiments.

The Shoes on the Danube monument is a harrowing reminder of the atrocities that once occurred on the banks of the Danube. Having visited in 2017 originally it was one of the sites that made the most impact in Budapest and one I knew I would return to. The second visit hit home just as much as the first and is one I will not forget.
