  • A horse-drawn carriage in Chicago

    A horse drawn carriage in Chicago.

    Twenty years ago on the streets of Chicago I saw a carriage being pulled by a horse and a bored driver.

    Today I learned while looking up more information about these trips that Chicago banned horse drawn carriages in 2021. Prices seemed to range from $120/hour up past $500/hour.

  • On the steps of the Museo Nacional del Prado

    A woman adjusts her handbag on the steps of the Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid. A couple have their photo taken in the background. Large signs show the text "MANE en el Prado" and some dates. Two people enter the museum.

    I remember visiting the Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid and I loved it.

    I visited Madrid in 2003 to stay with a good friend for a week. Back then, we only had rubbish 1mp cameras on our phones, if they had cameras at all. I had my Sony F717 with me and with a unique swivel body, 5MP sensor and 5X optical zoom I loved that camera.

    Twenty years later and this photo is seeing the light of day. I love how ordinary this photo is. I wonder if that couple in the background is still together. Is the woman with the handbag still living in Madrid?

  • All the boats at Navy Pier

    Lots of boats seen in the water at Navy Pier in Chicago. A Ferris Wheel can be seen in the background.

    Numerous boats are tied up at Navy Pier in Chicago, as well as a small U.S. Coast Guard boat.

    This was away back in 2003. I have no idea what the place looks like now!

    A LEGO shop opened on Grafton Street, Dublin, this year. I saw queues outside it as kids and harassed parents waited to get in.

  • A Robin in November

    A robin looking to the left, standing on a branch.

    A little robin looks off to the left in the grounds of Blarney Castle last November. They’re a friendly bird.

    If you want more, take a look at the fabulous robin photos that BathNature is posting and follow them!

    I think my Blarney Castle membership expires today. I’m uncertain if I’ll renew it as it’s expensive, and I barely used it at all in the past 12 months.

    Two leprechauns dance on St. Patrick’s Street, Cork. Tourists and children must love them, I guess.
