Sunset sketches over Zia

Hope you’ll enjoy the very short video I made—just a few golden slices from a quiet evening in Zia, Kos.

Shot using #insta360x5, #fujix100vi, and #RicohGRiii.
Just me, the mountain air, and a couple of cameras doing their thing.

I hope you’ll enjoy these few images from last weekend— just a glimpse of the quiet magic of kestrels unfolding near me.

A wonderful day amongst stones that have seen thousands of years of civilisation and history - Avebury is such place of connection with our ancestors! How many stories have these stone heard and seen over the history of humanity?
