On the Dalyan River (video 4:03)
In late September 2018, on a warm, still afternoon in Turkey, I took the last boat from beautiful Iztuzu Beach, at the mouth of the Dalyan River delta, back to Dalyan, a few kilometres upriver.
Nile turtle in the Dalyan River (video 1:29)
This Nile Turtle arrived for breakfast every morning at the Longhouse Inn Hotel by the riverside in Dalyan. It was fed on any leftover eggs (scrambled and boiled). Some establishments on the riverside lure the species with chicken skin in order to attract more customers, a practice which is in fact harmful to this secretive turtle which is unable to digest this food alien to its natural diet. I would imagine eggs aren't great for it to be eating every day either.

Daily photo diary from Turkey, September 2014

Istanbul is online
Just as the Turkish government has allowed YouTube again in Turkey, I've uploaded the last of the photos selected from my trip to Istanbul in April. 205 images selected from 519 taken in total.
Forty year-old passport
These are pages from my first passport. It was issued in 1980 when I was 16, but by 1984 I had changed so much that I got a new photo added.

Photographs from a visit to Istanbul
A set of photographs I took during a brief visit to Istanbul, Turkey, at the end of March.
Luxor, Egypt (2004)
In December 2004 I went to Luxor in Egypt with my first digital camera, a 4.0 megapixel Canon Powershot A80. It was before I was serious about photography and I wasn’t that impressed with the results from this camera compared to film.
Eight years later, I’ve had another look through the photos I took then and found much that is interesting. I've uploaded this selection to a set on Flickr.
Photographs from Canada
After a nice week visiting lovely friends in Ontario, Canada, I’ve created a new set of some of the photographs I took there.
