Yes that's why i was a bit absent from internet and social networks, i said few months ago "less inside more outside".
The main problem is light in south, the best is early morning or late evening, but when travelling a week you can't choose the right time so more over exposed photos.

I hope that everyone spent more time outdoors during this crisis than before. At least that would be one good habit for people to keep in the future as well!
All your pictures are lovely. I don't care that much anymore about quality, they are for remembering/records after all not to be published in a magazine :)

Indeed the goal is to share not publish a book (i'm often asked about that idea but i'm not a good writer)
