Flamenco Flair in the Heart of Valencia
Ladies in dramatic and colourful Flamenco dresses, caught in a moment on the street. The men in black are smartly dressed, but they don’t compare to the red, black and white of the dresses!

A tour of the 30th floor
Wander around the 30th floor of the Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw on a nice evening, and you’ll find plenty of people enjoying the views and not a few relaxing in deck chairs in the cool evening air so high up.

The Spodek and Light Streaks
The Spodek is an arena in the city of Katowice, Poland. Several weeks ago, the band Korn played to a packed out audience, and a few days later I returned to photograph it and the passing traffic.

Walking to the team
In Warsaw, there’s a striking mural of Polish athletes, and the first I saw of it was when this man was walking towards a stairs leading down to the open area in front of it.
The mural is sponsored by Adidas and created by Jakub Podlodowski. He has written about it on his Facebook page here.

A little Polish Flag
As we were waiting for a train to take us to the old town of Warsaw, another train pulled up with a little Polish flag stuck in the bumper. It was August 1st, so no wonder. A pretty important day in that city because of the uprising 80 years ago.

Griffins stand guard in Blarney
Griffins sit at the points of the roof of the gatehouse at the main vehicle entrance to Blarney Castle. It’s a private entrance, so if you’re wondering where it is, go back towards the village from the tourist entrance and turn right across the bridge and go 20m down the road. It’s on your right and you can’t miss it.
The house sits alongside a long straight road to the grounds of the Castle.

Jehovah’s Witnesses on the street
Just before I left Warsaw, I spotted these four women leaning against the wall of the stairs to the train station, and they appeared to be Jehovah’s Witnesses. You’re no doubt familiar with them as they’ve taken to the streets as well as calling to homes to spread the Word. In Poland, it appears that there are 116,307 “ministers who teach the bible” according to their website.
Anyway, now I want to watch Life of Brian…
