We went to InfoSeCon conference held in Hotel Croatia in Cavtat, just outside Dubrovnik. We had a lot of fun as well as work!

The individual lights remind me of the robot thingy on both Flash Gordon and Star Wars that injects people (Flash and Han Solo respectively, IIRC!)

How lucky was I to spot this "photon monster" - reflections of the street lights on the water in Dubrovnik harbour - the "eye" to the top right of the picture is in fact a buouy type thingy hanging off the side of one of the boats that is just visible on the right edge of the picture!

Not so exciting but I have loads of these because I was trying to collect backgrounds (e.g. for web sites) at the time!

This was another bird I had some good conversations with - I guess a Croatian variant of house sparrow but more colourful than the UK variety!  It seemed intrigued by my conversations with the gull!

"I prefer the grapes!" (the gull wouldn't eat the grapes - lucky for the sparrow!)
