An international grid. When it was running the A1GP teams each represented their country. In the foreground here is Monaco, but I think I can make out Brazil & Switzerland further back...

Photographing this in Australia perhaps makes it more international too

I guess this is 'International'.  A day of Spanish horsemanship in a temporary arena in Brussels, out by the Atomium.  I don't think these have seen the light of day since they were taken in 2011.  Pretty poor lot really but it is the theme that counts.

I had completely given up on Thatch  - rather surprised that I have no pictures of thatched cottages - and I'd worked all the way through anything remotely connected, abandoned search and found that Lightroom had landed on a picture sequence with this picture.  The next one had keyword "nesting" and I had tried "nest" in case it came up with something vaguely thatch like. 

Taken one week before the bird shot and being the most unlikely example of thatch you could imagine - one hell of a parasol
