A view from the tram
A few photos of a few seconds as the tram drove past a crowd of people waiting for another tram in Lisbon. Some people stand still, some are animated.

Sunset on the Seine
The sun setting over Paris last year reflects in the water of the Seine. Absolutely loved it.
Wisdom Visits Cork
In 2018, a ship called WISDOM visited Cork. Which is odd because this site says the ship was renamed, “Jasmine Scan”, in 2012.

In Sandycove Store & Yard a few weeks ago and it was a beautiful afternoon. The sun shone through the open roof, making it a lovely place to stop for a coffee and treat.

The Ring Wood in Blarney last night just after the sun set behind me and there was a lovely glow at the horizon. In the next few years, houses will be built in that field, possibly obscuring this view from across the valley.
