Telescope used for solar research at Mt Etna Observatory.
Piazza del Duomo in the middle of town in Catania.
A picture of me at the Mt Etna Observatory! The volcano blew a small tuft of smoke just moments after this photo was taken (we were all safe).
A vermouth bar that sold a number of delicious, colourful drinks. A popular stopping ground for after work drinks with everyone.
A packed fresh food and fish market that I stumbled across walking around on one of my free days.
Beautiful clouds on the drive to North Wales.
Our accomodation in Betws-y-coed; a little stone cottage in the middle of nowhere with nice views of the fields. Golden hour lighting at sunset (10pm)!
Our cow friends that we said hello to every day on the way in and out of town from our accomodation!
Kelsey standing at the door of a beautiful mansion and forest that we randomly drove past.
Streams and rivers everywhere. This was right next to the mansion in the other photo.
Caernarfon Castle - beautiful and mouldy. Both Kelsey and I were rubbing our eyes for days after an afternoon of frolicking about!
That train station with the really long name that translates to a sentence describing its location (something about a Queen and a river). We had some delicious pea protein drink sitting at the station not waiting for the train.
A beach on Anglesey.
Cheers :) Kelsey and I made the best beef soup ever and had a nice quiet night in our nice cottage.
Kelsey and I cwtching at a scenic lookout at the top of Mt Snowden.
Sitting at the highest point of Mt Snowden. So foggy that we lost colour.
Kelsey lighting up the old industrial part of Manchester with her nice smile and fun pose :)
The 76m Lovell telescope at Jodrell Bank right next to the SKAO HQ office.
Romeo Romeo where art thou Romeo (a modern version available at the John Rylands Library).
A cool mosaic on a wall in the Northern Quarter. We had the best sandwiches nearby!
Manchester comes alive when it is sunny! So many people hanging out at the coolest pubs in the Northern Quarter.
