The Watcher by the Wall
I found this stag at the edge of a field in Killarney National Park in October 2022, standing under an old tree behind a mossy stone wall. I think we were just headed for a late breakfast when someone spotted him in a field off the road.

Salamah on Sullivan’s Quay
In August 2022 the gable at the corner of Sullivan’s Quay and Drinan Street carried Joe Caslin’s portrait of Salamah, a woman seeking asylum in Ireland, with two huge hands held over her head like a roof. It was part of A Story of Home, a Cork Midsummer Festival project made with the Cork Migrant…

A Pathway Below the Waterline
At low tide the Thames drops several metres and leaves a wide strip of shingle below the Oxo Gallery on the South Bank, scattered with broken brick. I wondered about this framed pathway was going into the river. It’s only visible at low tide. It looks old. Was it a causeway for people to reach…

A Dog on Watch
It was really nice on South Bank in London. The sun was shining and the crowds had yet to descend on the area we were walking along. That dog was on alert though, watching everyone walk by.

Rock, Glass and Concrete
We walked across this footbridge, passing over a busy road but what caught my eye was the apartment blocks looming ahead.

A Soft Sunset over Alicante
The sun had already gone down over the port at Alicante when I took this, leaving a band of orange over the cranes that faded into clear blue. There were no clouds to catch the light of the sun that had already fallen below the horizon, but I was glad of the glow on the…

Orange Against the Blue
Alicante was still hot in late September, and the shade by the port didn’t reach far. A woman stepped out of it with her orange umbrella already up, tilting it against the sun as she walked. I could have done with an umbrella TBH. Local temperatures hit 30C, and we ducked into the nearby “The…

A Ring of Shade
Above the promenade at El Postiguet in Alicante is a walkway to the town where you can find a neat place to photograph passing people against the cubed background. Those ground tiles remind me of Q*bert or Marble Madness which I’ve only seen but never played. What I did play was Gyroscope, the first disc-based…

Building Season in Blackrock
The sun went down behind Páirc Uí Chaoimh and turned the sky a deep orange. The construction cranes in the background are building massive apartment blocks that will change the face of the area once residents move in. A far cry from the dust coal yard of Suttons and Sheehan and Sullivan on Centre Park…

Lines on Lines
The sun was high in Alicante, but the tall buildings and narrow streets cast deep shadows I took advantage of. The horizontal lines of this primary school had to be black and white. I looked it up on Google Maps and found it here, but if you look at Street View, the only images are…

Everyone’s a Photographer in Óbidos
Óbidos in September was full of day-trippers, and most of them were taking photos of the same narrow street. The street is filled with people and little shops and it’s very pretty!

A Ledge in the Sun
A moment after yesterday’s photo of Óbidos I spotted a man taking a break in the sun. There were a lot of people about so I don’t blame him for wanting to take a moment to sit down.
