I was surprised to see handguns, knives and other weapons at a shop in the St. Petersburg to Moscow train station. This was after we had gone through a security check and passing through metal detectors before boarding the night train to Moscow.

While the MV Explorer was docked in St. Georges, Granada our assignment for Michael Mariant’s Ultimate Travel Photography workshop was to photograph the people and activities in the town. It turned out to be exam day at the St. Georges Anglican Senior School. The headmaster let me step in and take some images of the students busy taking the exam.

While on a walkabout in Riga, we came across a Gold Street Artist following a group of women with ballons. He got one of the women to sit on his lap to have her picture taken. The Nikon 1 series of cameras were small and unobtrusive for street photography.

After flying to Sweden on Icelandic Air I took the Express Train from Arlanda Airport to Stockholm. This was after an overnight flight, changing planes in Reykjavik. I was tired and just followed the signs.

Harvey the backyard rabbit checking out if it was safe to have dinner in my vegetable garden. Harvey had part of its ear missing. I didn’t mind if he nibbled a bit. It was the deer that did the most damage.

An early morning rainbow visible from the deck of the MV Explorer as we approached San Juan, Puerto Rico. Several of the photographers in Michael Mariant’s Ultimate Travel Photography workshop were up early to check out the sunrise before arriving in Puerto Rico when the rainbow appeared.

When in Oslo, I always like to visit the Vigeland Sculpture Park. A target rich environment for photographers.

This was the first of the hatchlings to leave the Eastern Phoebe’s nest above my front door. Was it an Eastern Phoebe, or Brown-headed Cowbird. Since it was bigger than the other hatchlings, I think it was a Brown-headed Cowbird. The Cowbirds lay their eggs in other bird species nests.

HM Coast Guard Rescue Helicopter (Stac Pollaidh, G-BIMU) hovered near the MV Explorer as we traveled across the North Sea from Dover to Oslo. It may have been a training exercise as no one from the Enrichment Voyage needed to be transported for medical treatment. I am not sure where the helicopter was based, but the Stac Pollaidh name is a mountain in the northwest Scottish Highlands.

This yellow “Snail on the Trail” was observed while on a hike to the base of the Cliffs of Dover from the National Trust South Foreland Lighthouse in St. Margaret’s Bay. The field trip took us to see the sights in and around Dover. The snail reminded me of a bright yellow Banana Slug I saw in Big Sur, California several years earlier.
