The Luna Omakase restaurant is situated within the Los Mochis restaurant in the City of London. It is so different to anything I have experienced before. My husband enters many competitions and this was one of his best wins (courtesy of Hot Dinners). We were treated so well, nothing was too much - from pre-dinner drinks to fresh mint tea to finish. We had 12 dishes, mostly fish but also some caviar and Wagyu beef all paired with four types of sake. There were just ten diners in a private room.

The river cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest covered 1600km and 68 locks. We travelled over the continental divide on a canal and then the river changed its flow direction from the North Sea to the Black Sea. The idea of connecting these two bodies of water was considered many centuries ago and only came to reality in 1992.

These photos were taken on a trip by river in and around Bordeaux. It is a lovely city with lots of interesting things to do. The area is known for its wines and they didn't disappoint.

I won the Landscape of the Year cup at my camera club tonight with my image of the Matterhorn. It is printed on a slightly textured, matte paper from Paper Spectrum.

It's been a long time since I won the Projected Digital Image of the Year competition but 2022 was the year to change that. The white-capped albatross was taken off the southern island of New Zealand on a lovely clear day a few years ago. The birds came close to the boat for the chum they got. Taken on a 70-200mm lens at the 70mm end.

Just published this completes the trilogy of books created from a trip Cambodia, Loas and Vietnam back in 2008.
