#picoftheday reflects a sad goodbye (for now) to my favorite person (dog), who's staying in the UK for the foreseeable. I'll miss him infinitely. #dogsofbluesky

#picoftheday is this mighty assembly of windmill rotor blades ready for shipment across Europe from the port of Le Havre. How anyone can find windmills ugly is beyond me. #windmill #windpower #wind #energy #electricity #greenenergy #windturbine #sustainable #sustainability #Normandy #France #LeHavre

Took a lovely 12 mile hike in the forest around the cute Highland town of Alness, and found this pretty fairy bridge. #picoftheday #Scotland #Highlands #Alness #hiking

High winds meant an aborted shore day for Norwegian Dawn, so no adventures in Edinburgh for me (or 2,000 pissed off pensioners). Here's the closest we got, taken from the Firth of Forth. #picoftheday #cruise #norwegiancruiseline #Edinburgh #Scotland #Forth #cruising #Newhaven #weather #cruiseship

It's this little dickhead's fifth birthday. As a fully grown adult I did my fatherly duty and brought him his first beer. He kinda loved it but now he stinks. Happy birthday, Barney! 🎁 #dogsofbluesky #picoftheday #dog #dogs #birthday #cake #doggo

Started 2025 meaning to post mindful pics summarizing each day. Life took a detour. Trying again. Hartlepool's Steetley Pier was built to pipe salty sea water into dolomite to make magnesia for steel furnaces. This relic of a bygone industry was the site of today's walkies #picoftheday #steelworks

For business reasons I Googled famous people whose birthdays are next week. I don't know who's been upvoting this shit but sorting the "celebs" by "most popular" is giving all kinds of fucked up vibes.

Screenshot of famous people's birthdays from bornglorious.com, showing the birthdays in week commencing May 19th. Queen Victoria, Jeffrey Dahmer and Bob Dylan are the top three, sorted by popularity.

A quirky #picoftheday is three countries and two continents in one eyeline, taken from the port of #Gibraltar aboard #EmeraldPrincess. #UK to the left, #Spain to the right and #Morocco straight ahead. Also here is where the #Mediterranean Sea meets the #Atlantic Ocean ⛵ #cruising #africa #europe

The UK territory of Gibraltar is left of frame, centre of frame are the hills of Morocco, and on the right is Spain

Enjoyed a beautiful hill walk today, from the port at La Seyne Sur Mer, Toulon. The Mediterranean coastline is so beautiful in this part of France. #picoftheday #mediterranean #toulon #france #sea #coast #sun #cruising

A belated #picoftheday from yesterday represents the unashamedly classical nature of Italian markets, where one can find everything from Anchovies to Zebra-print dog collars and everything in between. This is the Mercato Delle Vettovaglie in #Livorno #italy #tuscany #cruising #princesscruises

For someone who travels so much, I rarely "do" touristy shit, but I enjoyed strolling around #Bordeaux this morning and snapped this pic of the Monument aux Girondins, a symbol of liberty, equality and fraternity #France #picoftheday #girondins #French #history #frenchrevolution

24 hours of intense rainfall in the Dordogne has resulted in a very swollen and moody river. But ☀️ is on its way! #picoftheday #dordogne #france #river #weather #rain #floods

Kid hates the journey but he loves the destination. Barney's train ride today will take him to his nanny Mandy's in #Shrewsbury. At least he can catch some rays on the platform while we nervously wait for the @transportforwales.bluesky.social #train at #Stockport. #picoftheday #dogsofbluesky 🐕 ❤️ 🚆

For many reasons it's a special day. Among them: ✅ St David's Day 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 ✅ Start of Ramadan ☪️ ✅ Beginning of Spring 🌼 And, mostly importantly, the milder weather associated with "Wet Barney Season" 🐶 #picoftheday #dogsofbluesky #dogs #ramadan #ramadanmubarak #stdavid #Wales #spring #sunshine

Of all the weird things online, I simply don't understand why social media is so very heavily in its bad AI generated whale barnacle removal era? 🤔

Feeling somewhat low this week, so #picoftheday is also #throwbackthursday with some of my fave people. Two pics taken a few days but 4,500 miles apart during this week three years ago when I turned 40 😍💯🧚🥳 #family #tbt #disneyworld #cocktails #florida #manchester
