The new Howth Lighthouse

A thick pole with lights at the top. Blue skies and fluffy clouds behind it.

If you walk out to the end of the pier at Howth Harbour, you’ll find this tall, thin building. It’s the “new” lighthouse, and has operated there since May 19th, 1982.

Spanish Gentleman

A black and white photo of a man dressed in a suit and hat walking on a pedestrianised street while other people in the background walk by.

A man dressed in a suit is an unusual sight when all around him are dressed casually.

Kids love Balloons

Kids walking along with some adults watch a large bunch of balloons for sale by a vendor who is just out of shot

Two kids walk past a huge bunch of balloons. I’m quite sure their parents were subsequently asked to buy one!

Running from the shop

A man in a hoody running out of a shop with a speaker in one hand and a McDonald's cup in the other. Another man is talking to a smiling security guard behind him.

Man in a hoody running past me, looking over his shoulder as his friend comes out of the shop he just left.

Man shouting and coming out of a shop waving his hand holding his phone in the air and a Mc Donald's cup in the other.

Walking along Henry Street in Dublin a few weeks ago, and I saw these two lads coming out of a shop in a hurry. I wouldn’t even have posted these, except the second guy seems to be quite a character!

Distracted in Arrecife

A woman walking along a street looking over her shoulder at something that has caught her attention.

Something caught her eye as she walked along. I don’t know what. I took this photo in 2006, but only noticed it a few days ago.

Arrecife, Lanzarote. 2006.

A tiny red car

A small red car parked by a pavement with a "no parking" cone in front of it. It appears to be parked on a corner.

I spotted a tiny red car parked on a bend in Ardara, Co Donegal on a visit there in 2017. I forgot to take a photo of the logo on the bonnet, so if anyone knows what type of car it is, please let me know!

Lovely town too.
