Andalucia, Spain. A holiday should be a holiday. Time off to get away from the usual, your norm, and to spend that free time to do nothing, or to do things you normally might not be able to do. Not easy when you are set in your ways. So no camera on this break. Ouch!

But, the iPhone in your pocket and you get tempted to take a shot or two. I'm sure you've done this:-) Couldn't rest this view from the bedroom window. Not one normally for sunrises, seeing the sun rise behind the mountains was an amazing experience. Forty five minutes of peace and tranquility while the world sleeps. All yours for free!

Quote from Mitch Albom's brilliant "The Time Keeper", which I finished between to sunrises.

Andalucia, Spain. One of the laziest shots I've taken: lying on my back, reluctantly took the iPhone out, and snap. Normal service resumes tomorrow.

Gonville and Caius College, University of Cambridge. All you need is directional light and a keen eye for observing patterns. If you're outside, look near gates, fences, sculptures, doors, windows etc. Look down, and on walls, too.
