'Arrival'
Resembling a scene from a science fiction movie, the symmetry and shadows of this terminal entrance intrigued me as I arrived at France's Lyon Airport. (July 21, 2018. Apple iPhone 7, 1/313s @ f/1.8, 3.99 mm, ISO 20.)
Cheeky Kea
The kea - the world's only alpine parrot - is found in the mountains of New Zealand's South Island. Very intelligent and mischievous, these birds are notorious for attacking plastic and rubber fixtures on parked vehicles. This young kea is nibbling on the antenna of my rental car.

A typical restaurant/bar in Niue
There are no chain restaurants in Niue. In fact, I didn't see any internationally branded businesses there at all.
License plates in Niue have only 4 digits. That should last them quite a while.
