The first one was taken when I was lounging on my hotel balcony one morning when this couple arrived in a SUV at the beach below. The chauffeur then carried the chairs and tables to the edge of the Mediterranean, and then discreetly withdrew. Then the couple sat down, had a cup of tea (I presume) and enjoyed each others company for some time. It was also quite windy and nippy that morning, and the whole scene was quite surreal as there was not another soul on the broad beach! http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/ireland/DSC_0095.jpg.html The second one was taken in Abu Simbel - a Japanese couple doing what they do when they travel - taking photographs. I am guessing they were honeymooners by the way they were behaving. I was taken up by that hulking 'grim reaper' looking shadow looming to the right: But at my back I always hear Times winged chariot hurrying near And yonder before us lie Deserts of vast eternity I thought that Andrew Marvell's lines, penned to his coy mistress, described that scene very well, as we really were in the middle of a vast empty desert at this location: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/ireland/DSC_0058.jpg.html C&C, as ever, welcome Cheers Jayanand
