Banana + marmite (vegemite in my case) sandwich not something I had ever contemplated, but I was inspired (by James May) to give one a try.
Vegemite on one slice of bread, banana roundels on top then second slice of bread.
Surprised to find it was very nice, with aftertaste lasting quite some time

The Enlightenment Stupa is a distinctive religious monument erected on a platform in Benelmádena and affording panoramic views of the Costa del Sol. It was built with the blessing of Lopon Tsechu Rinpoche and with the help of the architect Wojtek Kossowsk. #stupa #buddha #benalmadena #spain

A beautiful Atlas moth. Odd that this, and others like the Eri Silk moth, don't have mouths! Large legs, bit like a Tarantula and a strange feeling when they walk on you #atlas #moth #nature #insects #photography

I was particularly happy to get this shot with the wing position and the tail feathers nicely fanned out. A Yellow-legged Gull flying over the Balcon de Europa in Nerja, Spain #gull #bird #birds #wildlife #photography #yellow-legged

In most of tropical Africa, this little fella, the Northern Grey-headed Sparrow, is the corresponding equivalent of the Eurasian House Sparrow #bird #birds #africa #sparrow #northern #grey-headed #wildlife #photography

The Yellow-fronted Tinkerbird, Pogoniulus chrysoconus, is a small critter in the Barbet family, hence it was formerly known as the Yellow-fronted Tinker Barbet. They will eat misteltoe fruits then regurgitate the sticky seed, wipe it clean on a branch and redistribute it. The Great Dispenser #birds

The very common (but only in the Iberian peninsular) Spotless Starling, (Sturnus unicolo), a very shiny bird who loves to sing. Quite a variety of melodic calls #spotlessstarling #starling #spotless #bird #birds #nature #photography #wildlife #iberia #spain
