Appearances can be deceiving

Celebration of Valentine’s Day is prohibited here, so of course this wasn’t that kind of display, but it did have a familiar look about it…

We are leaving in a few hours (2:30 a.m. to be exact) for a two-day excursion. I’m bringing enough camera gear; sure hope I get some good pictures (on no sleep ;-)). Will catch up when we get back, probably Sunday!

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II
