Much Ado About Puffins: A surprise from the makers of QI
January 5, 2012 1 Comment
My photography received a wave of unexpected attention yesterday, when the QI Elves (researchers for the BBC quiz show QI, hosted by Stephen Fry) found one of my posts and tweeted it to the programme’s followers.
The interest took my breath away: the post - a photo set of puffins on the Scottish island of Lunga - was viewed 1,620 times between lunchtime and midnight (last year my entire blog received on average 15 views per day). A couple of visitors even left a comment. On my previous busiest day there were about 140 page views across MY EUROPE; yesterday the number was 1,999 (more than 10% of total visitors to the site since I created it in 2008).
The fleeting popularity that the QI Elves granted me made my day - but it is the puffins who deserve the 1,620 new fans.
*********
AND THEN…: The QI Elves got back in touch a few months later, to ask whether they could use two of my puffin photographs for the programme’s website. They can be found on QI’s “Puffins” page.

The Road to Pamukkale: Antalya to Denizli (Turkey)

The Road to Pamukkale.
Seventeen hours on a bus with fourty Russian tourists, travelling along dusty roads through barren landscapes, wouldn’t sound like a romantic trip to most couples on their honeymoon. But then again, not many couples could look forward to a dip in the therapeutic mineral pools at the end of the journey as much as Anastasiya and I, when we signed up for a trip from Kemer to Pamukkale.

Coming To Our Senses In Kemer (Antalya Province, Turkey)

Three schoolboys from Kemer play catch in the Mediterranean Sea.
In July my fiancée Anastasiya and I spent a week in Kemer, near Antalya in southern Turkey. It was a sort of honeymoon for us, two weeks before our wedding.

Each morning and evening we sunbathed on Kemer’s pebble beach, and swam in the warm Mediterranean Sea. In the middle of the day (when the sun was too hot to stay outside) we explored the town, and discovered attractive streets lined with palm trees, charismatic and kind people, and sumptuous food. Kemer refreshed all our senses.
