This morning, the sun rose through a beautiful orange haze. This was some 600m away through the eye of a long lens, and it looked even better in real life.

All Stripes and Horns
A Bongo Antelope at Bioparc Valencia was relaxing under the shade when he looked behind at the humans visiting. The baboons in an enclosure nearby were getting most of the attention, though.

Everyday Life at the Market
A vendor in a market in Malaga places Strawberries out on display. It’s difficult to believe this was 2018. It seems like a lifetime away.

Silhouettes of Lisbon at Dusk
A glorious sunset over Lisbon in late 2023. The famous 25 de Abril Bridge is there, of course, as well as construction cranes nearby working in building sites.

Steel Wool Spinning at Night
Spinning flaming steel wool around creates fiery trails in the air. Thanks Henry, for this photo I took in 2015!

The Calm Before The Day
The sun rose this morning a few minutes after 7am, but this is what the sky looked like about 8 minutes before. There was a glorious orange glow and the clouds were lit up from underneath by the sun coming around the globe and shining through the atmosphere.

The Blues Brothers in Action
The Cannonball Run brought a burst of excitement to the streets of Blarney back in 2018 despite the rain that day. It appears I only posted one photo from that day before. I must dig out more!

A Coastal Haven in West Cork
The Baltimore Beacon on one side and Sherkin Island on the other, while we travelled to that island on a day trip, the same day as this photo of the Wallis Buoy.

Seagull’s Perch on Wallis Buoy
Ah, the majestic Wallis buoy. It’s a beacon of maritime sophistication and seagull real estate. On my way to Sherkin Island, I came upon this floating masterpiece, complete with a solar panel that probably powers the seagull’s Netflix subscription. The bird, perched confidently atop its throne, seemed to be enforcing the 6 km speed limit with all the authority of a traffic warden who’s had one too many cups of tea.

Family Moments by the Atlantic
I was watching the sun set in Tenerife when a family approached and walked by. They were silhouetted by the sun, but instead of the usual black shadows, I wanted to try something different. No doubt the purists will be scoffing at the bright vignettes. Well, thanks. 🙂
