Blarney Castle on a lovely May afternoon in 2015.

The fabulous Tritons’ Fountain in Valetta, Malta. The fountain was built between 1952 and 1959. I’m glad I saw it after it was restored in 2018. It seems to have had an interesting life if the Wikipedia page is to be believed.

Business men laugh and chat in a street in Valetta, Malta. Pre-Covid19.

Two skateboarders on Grand Parade, again. This time back in 2016 on the second day of the year.

Skateboards and photos on the Grand Parade.

Debenhams, a large retailer in the UK and Ireland closed last year with the loss of thousands of jobs.

Liam Ruiséal’s shop is closed for some time now after trading in the same corner for more than 100 years. In 2018 you could still see books in there but they were advertising their final reductions. Here’s Health will be moving in there this year. The Golden Pages still has the number of the shop….

Near Glencolmcille, Co Donegal in 2017. A beautiful part of the country.

Grape vines in November 2019, Douro Valley, Portugal.

This imposing lighthouse sits at the mouth of Malaga harbour. It was built in 1817, damaged by earthquakes and the Spanish civil war and is operating automatically since 1993.
