  • Clouds of flame

    Sunrise with dark clouds at the top of the frame. Yellow and orange sunlight lighting up the bottom of the clouds and the clear sky underneath. Silhouettes of trees and branches occupy the bottom third of the image.

    Shortly after I sat down at my desk this morning, I looked out the window to see quite a beautiful sunrise lighting up the sky.

    The top of the sky was a cool blue, moving to dark cloud lower down, then melting to a lovely orange and yellow colour before the sun rose over the distant hill.

  • Tools you need

    A man holds a paper bag with the text, "TOOLS YOU NEED" on it, while a woman holds his arm. She is carrying a handbag. Picture from behind both.

    Sometimes, all you need is love. Sometimes you need tools to do household repairs.

  • Feb 24th Pro Palestinian Rally

    The view down Robert Street where the rally doubled back through Oliver Plunkett Street. People walking and some carrying flags and banners.

    Today saw the biggest rally supporting Palestinians happen in Cork this afternoon. Groups from all over Munster descended on the city and the rally walked down St. Patrick’s Street, chanting and singing. They doubled back through Winthrop Street and back up Oliver Plunkett Street before assembling in the Grand Parade for a number of speakers and singers.

    The rally was organised by Cork Palestina Solidarity Campaign.

  • A gift of colour

    I was walking up the street behind a man dressed in blue and this photo presented itself to me. Pink and blue and a man in a baseball cap. All gone within seconds.

  • The interesting shop

    Five women look in a shop call MI FLAMENCA through two separate windows at the tourist knick knacks for sale. They're maybe unaware of each other as they are separated by a corner. A postbox sits at the corner, waiting for postcards home.

    Down a side street in Valencia I spotted five ladies looking in the windows of a tourist shop selling T-shirts, fridge magnets, kitchen towels, bags and all sorts of other knick-knacks.

  • Bright clothes on a dull day

    3 people sitting at a table outside a pub wearing bright clothes. A man wearing yellow. A woman wearing a bright pink jacket. Another man wearing a bright green woolly hat. People around them wearing ordinary, by contrast, drab clothing. Another table sits empty in front of them.

    It was lovely seeing people dressed in bright clothes last Saturday when it was overcast and fairly dull outside. Yellow, pink and green made a nice change from the mostly muted colours other people wore.

  • Smile for the camera

    A woman photographs a man in a hat, in front of the tram I'm on. She has her phone up to her face. 2 younger women are nearby, while a couple walk in from the right and a woman looks at her phone in the background near them.

    She took a photo of me while I was on a tram passing by on this street in Lisbon, Portugal. I took a photo of what, I think, is a much more interesting scene.

  • Pigeons find a home

    Six pigeons sitting on the roof of a small office on Grand Parade in Cork. The text "HOME ENERGY" is seen on the building they're on.

  • Chicago Apple Store

    The genius bar in this Apple store in Chicago.

    An Apple Store in Chicago, in 2003. I wandered in here while I was in the city, curious about what it would look like, as I didn’t use any Apple products at the time.

    Those are the words of a Palestinian poet killed by an airstrike in Gaza. I saw them printed on a small white kite on the Palestinian flag carried by a man at the pro-Palestinian rally in Cork today. The rally was organised by the Cork Palestine Solidarity Campaign.

    Last week another poet, Refaat Alareer, was killed by an airstrike. Alareer was a professor of English literature at the Islamic University of Gaza, where he taught Shakespeare, among other subjects. One of his latest works widely shared, again on X, concludes with the words: “If I must die, let it bring hope, let it be a tale.”

    The Guardian, 12th December 2023.

    The rally today was the biggest I’ve seen so far, and The Echo Live estimated about 1,000 people took part.

  • So many steps

    Looking down the steps of the Escadinhas Damasceno Monteiro in Lisbon. Fish graffiti adorn the walls of a nearby home.
    The steps at the bottom of the Escadinhas Damasceno Monteiro in Lisbon. Beautiful butterfly graffiti and a crudely written "FREE PALESTINE" on the wall.

    The city of Lisbon is infamous for its hills, and the Escadinhas Damasceno Monteiro is a fine example. It is down the street from where we were staying. It’s got lots of steps. So many steps.

  • Still Water and Blue Sky

    The Museu de les Ciències Príncipe Felipe, and the water surrounding it, with the Pont l’Assut de l’Or bridge and CaixaForum in the background and clear blue skies.

    One afternoon while we were in Valencia we visited the Museu de les Ciències Príncipe Felipe on hire bikes. There were huge crowds there, taking selfies and hanging around, but with a long 20-second exposure they all (mostly) disappear into a blur. In the photo above you’ll also see the Pont l’Assut de l’Or bridge and CaixaForum in the background and, of course, the clear blue sky.
