A cat in the shadows
Two buckets are no match for an ephemeral cat in the shadows as it played with the light of the setting sun at Castlemartyr Resort last week. The shadow of the cat is courtesy of the cat statue I posted recently. Again, well worth going down to see them, and for a stroll around the…

The seaweed bicycle
I spotted a bike for hire that must have been dumped in the river for quite some time before being returned to the lock area. It was underwater so long that seaweed grew on it and tiny seashells grew on the pedal! I presume it’ll be picked up, and hopefully cleaned up or recycled. Aperture…

A cat on the roof
Hey! There’s a cat on the roof! Just one of the statues displayed at the Art+Soul exhibition in the Castlemartyr Resort was one of a cat standing on a large key. I thought it might be nice to see if the cat can stand on the roof of the hotel. 🙂 Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7M3…

The Castlemartyr Resort Waterfall
When you visit the Castlemartyr Resort in Co. Cork, you cannot miss the waterfall in the river next to the entrance road. It’s a beautiful spot and well worth visiting! Aperture ƒ/9 Camera ILCE-7M3 Focal length 101mm ISO 400 Shutter speed 1/60s

At the Olympics
The Panathenaic Stadium was not very crowded when we visited, but I immediately noticed a small group of young people taking photos of each other and added them to a photo of my own. 🙂 Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7M3 Focal length 208mm ISO 640 Shutter speed 1/1000s

Dressed for a party
When I walked past this little dog and snapped a photo of him with my phone, I didn’t realise I was photographing a celebrity dog. Thanks to Google Images, I found out the dog is Ali the Rasta Dog on Instagram. I’m not a fan of dressing dogs up in clothes, unless it’s cold out,…

The Ginger Guardian needs a rest
Being a guardian of the alley is tiring work and when they can, the guardians take a break. The lovely ginger cat I photographed in yesterday’s post jumped into this flower bed/shrubbery to rest and didn’t object when I took his photo. Aperture ƒ/1.7 Camera Galaxy S23 Ultra Focal length 6.3mm ISO 20 Shutter speed…

Guardians of the Alley
Two cats protect a narrow street in Athens, Greece. Tourists were milling around, talking loudly, enjoying their food and drink on a warm afternoon. Cars drove past nearby, but the cats didn’t move until a delivery man drove up on the pavement. Even then, they didn’t go far. The ginger fellow lay down to sleep…

A Renault 4 at the Panathenaic Stadium
Cars weren’t going anywhere fast in front of the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens, Greece, the day we visited. A traffic jam extended far off in every direction. An old Renault 4 caught my eye. An anarchism among all the modern cars around. In a city like Athens, where the ancient past seamlessly coexists with the…
