What appears to be a Chinese Junk arrives to disturb the water.

Again, no tubes - but a great colour scheme.

Very Nice photos Mr Hart.
What I would point out however, is that one of the many the differences between Scotland and the Med is the temperature.
Scotland looks very cold to me. When I did my MSc in Edinburgh I remember that this time of year it was freezing despite the sunshine!!
I was talking to Manos earlier on today and he said that the sun is shining in the UK but the temperature is till bellow 0C where as in Greece until yesterday we had 29-30C and just today dropped to about 22C.
A very small difference I know
