Hair’s the wig shop
I wonder what was going through this woman’s mind as she looked at the wigs on display in this shop in Valencia, Spain.
The Fiery Red Tree
Atop a high stone tower in Clogheenmilcon Sanctuary Walk, near Blarney, is a sculpture of a tree. It was created by sculptor, Don Cronin and is impossible to miss if you’re walking in the sanctuary. This was taken last night when temperatures had dropped to -4.5ºC. I didn’t stay out very long, but braver souls…
The Lilac Hat on Tour
A tour group in Malaga listens to a tour guide talk outside the cathedral. I liked the colour of the lilac hat in the foreground.
Missing the Sights

The Dragon Awakens

The afterglow of sunset

A selfie with the Eiffel Tower
A woman poses for a selfie in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. There’s rain in the air and others are sheltering under umbrellas. I have my camera out on a tripod to take photos, of course!
Shandon Bells and Houses
Shandon Bells, seen from a slightly different perspective than the one at Bell’s Field we’re used to. It’s surrounded by houses and roads, and even by the nearby brewery, of which you can see a small portion of in this photo.
