San Diego, California. June 30.

By the way, for virtually all pictures I am now posting, you can click on the picture to see a larger version of the photograph. I have been sort of assuming that readers had figured this out, but just thought I would mention it.

My visited countries update.

Create your own visited countries map.

This is kind of misleading, of course. All I have to do is visit Tijuana for an afternoon, and a huge swathe of North America goes red. (Canada is like this too - I once spent a day in Vancouver). As for China, I have made a number of visits to the coast, but none to the interior. Painting Europe red requires a lot of work, however. Over the last couple of years the big change is that Scandinavia has been coloured in. I have still never been to the Balkans, though. I must sort this out. And I need to go to South America, and Russia, and India. Oh yes, and Israel. (Hi Robert). Israel won't do much for the map though.

Back in London

I am going to be very busy for at least the next month, alas. I shall however continue doing at least some blogging, if only photographs.
