The dolphins of L’Oceanogràfic Valencia

A dolphin jumps out of the water with a blue ball in it's mouth.

We visited the aquarium in Valencia while on a trip there, like most tourists do. It was a remarkable experience, even if I felt sad that a Beluga whale had what must be a small tank for such a large creature.

The dolphin show was a sight to see. Commentary was in Spanish, so I couldn’t follow it, but the dolphins there seemed happy, and bonded well with their trainers.

The Diagon Alley Singer

In the Diagon Alley section of “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter” in Florida we were entertained by singers and dancers. This woman was first out but she was soon joined by others to sing for us.

Of Tae and Talk

There’s something to be said for enjoying life while you can and enjoying a cup of tea. On a nice June day in 2021, late in the afternoon, this man was relaxing in the shade of his truck. No more sales for today.

From Evening to Night in Cork

The north side of Cork City, with the North Cathedral and Shandon Bells visible. The Church of the Ascension is barely visible on the horizon, with the restored glowing cross bright in the night sky.

This is a time blend photo. Two images, shot at different times of the day, combined into one. The sky was photographed at sunset, when the sky was still bright, while the urban streets and buildings were captured much later after sunset. A first attempt, on an evening of rain and cold when we didn’t expect much of a sunset at all.

Here’s a video that explains how to do it:

Here’s another, slightly different edit of the photo that will make it more obvious what’s going on.

Wait For Green

A person in white pants and runners walks across a street at a pedestrian lights. The white painted bars on the street are visible along with the words "Espere Verde". Another person has already crossed the street and their legs are seen departing the scene

ESPERE VERDE! Wait green! On a street in Valencia I saw the white bars of the pedestrian crossing, a “safe zone” to cross the road for pedestrians. Then I noticed the person crossing the road, their clothes neatly matched the bars of paint.
