Lesvos, April 2010
A second spring trip in successive years to this enchanting island. Many thanks to companions John & Jenny Chainey, Dan Duff and Simon Stirrup for making this such an enjoyable trip and to Abbott Travel of Royston, Herts, for handling our Thomson travel booking so well during the 'ash cloud' period...! I am indebted too to Steve of 'Holloway Optics' of Thetford for loan of the Canon 7D that took many of the images. Click on top-left image to start, then click on yellow 'next' symbol to view each image in turn or use your 'return' key on keyboard to move forward. Please contact me to re-use any image. (NB larger images will be uploaded when a site technical issue is resolved.) Enjoy!
