Further meandering around the narrow market streets of the harbour town of Fethiye in Turkey led me to this delightful display of carpets and rugs for sale.

The sign of times soon to come! This was my first summer solstice sunrise at Stonehenge in England and I love the picture because it heralds the warm sunny days that are yet to come (please!) after the dark days of winter.
