Classical Contemplation
Jaysus, I nearly dropped me phone when I spotted this scene in the Musée d’Orsay like. There’s your man on the left, pure glued to his iPhone, probably updating his Insta or whatever, and the other fella hanging on to some pamphlet or other. And there in the middle, this massive marble yoke, probably worth…

Urban Decay in Green and White
I spotted this scene while walking up the hill next to the harbour in the old town of Puerto del Carmen. The peeling paint of the window frame attracted my attention, but then the modern signs stood out in contrast to the white painted wall. Just one of those things I like about looking around.…

January 18th, 2025 Palestine Rally in Cork
There was a huge turnout for the pro-Palestine rally in Grand Parade yesterday afternoon. There’s huge support for Palestine in Ireland. Speakers welcomed the cease fire, but I don’t think anyone thinks it’ll hold. Recently, I found photos of a similar rally through the streets of Cork in 2009. It’s the same issues. Nothing has…

Urban Life Below Los Gigantes
The setting sun cast a lovely colour on the cliffs of Los Gigantes in Tenerife while I was packing the car. We had just eaten in a nice restaurant and were going to drive down to the harbour on the other side of town when I saw the cliffs lit up this way. Quick as…

A Rhino’s Reflection
A white rhino wanders near a pool of water in Bioparc Valencia, Spain. In 2023, two rhinos arrived in the zoo and in December that year, they had the largest group of this threatened species in Spain. The biggest threat to them is, of course, humans who want to poach the animals for their horns…
