Blue and Purple Wildflowers
In the middle of El Caminito del Rey, north of Malaga in Spain, I found these beautiful flowers growing in the rocky soil.
Sunset at Ballycotton
Small boat on the water outside Ballycotton harbour as the sun sets behind.
Sunset Boats in Crosshaven
Sunset over the boats moored in Crosshaven, Co Cork.
One Hot Hit!
A woman checks her phone in front of the Covent Garden Underground station, with a huge poster for Frozen, the musical, behind her.
Malaga Sunrise
The view from my hotel, looking out on the Mediterranean before the sun rose. There was a beautiful glow on the horizon.
A man and a blank mural
In contrast to the photo yesterday of the same bench in 2015 when a mural appeared on the wall, this photo from July 2019 features a blank wall. An elderly man, with his walker sits on the same bench. I hope he made it through the COVID pandemic.
Surrounded by the sights of Cork
I wonder if this man checking his phone noticed the mural behind him in Bishop Lucey Park. In this fragment of the mural you can see the old Roches Stores building, Mangan’s Clock and Shandon Bells. You won’t see that mural there now. This is a snapshot of it from 2015.
The Colours of Culture Night
A long exposure photo of a street with a passing bus that says, “Culture Night” on the front captured in maddening, disorganising streaks of colour.
Reflection on the Eiffel Tower
The Eiffel Tower reflected in the pond at the Jardins du Trocadéro in Paris. I remember reading that police would stop you taking photos of the Eiffel Tower at night with a camera on a tripod but I never experienced that. Do they do that any more?
The Chauffeur and the Rolls
I was waiting for someone to come out of a shop, so I did some street photography while I was in London. I found a chauffeur standing in front of his Rolls Royce car, waiting, too. I wonder who owns the car?
Red Clouds at Sunset
Clouds in the sky are lit up by the sun after it has set. They’re a vivid red thanks to the light travelling through the thick atmosphere just beyond the horizon.
A Masked Break
At the height (one of them, anyway) of the COVID19 pandemic in July 2020, someone takes a break on the street. He still wears his mask, despite being outside and nowhere near anyone. Numbers of COVID19 infections are rising again, unfortunately. Schools are back after the summer. It’s so depressing.
