Travelling again... 😁

A view from Buda Castle in Budapest, my wife and daughter in the foreground, and the Hungarian parliament building lit up in the background across the Danube.

Last day of #nudivember, so I'll squeeze in a last #nudibranch. This is probably my favourite nudi photo I ever took, on 2nd May 2018 at Sha'ab Maksour in the southern Red Sea. This is a long-tail ceratosoma in soft coral. 😍

A long, smooth white sea slug with bright yellow spots, a blue fringe and purple rhinophores (horns) is moving towards the camera through a field of white soft coral, which has tendrils pulsating in the water.

4th July 2020, at the Blue Caps site at the Farne Islands, Northumberland, England. A stunning Amphorina farrani nudibranch, the only time I ever saw this species. I really miss diving. 😭 #nudivember #nudibranch

A very pretty nudibranch (sea slug), with a white body, long orange-tipped rhinophores (horns), and covered in orange-tipped cerrata (pointy bits). All underwater in the North Sea, and sitting on kelp.

Northern lights over Whitley Bay, England in October.

Green and red northern lights in a dark, starry sky.
