  • Malaga Sunrise

    The glow of the sun before it rises above the horizon is silhouetted by houses and trees.

    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

    An elderly man sits on a bench in Bishop Lucey Park. The wall behind him is normally a mural but in July 2019, the wall was mostly blank.

    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

    Flowers and icons of Cork are painted on a wall in Bishop Lucey Park behind a man checking his phone on a bench.

    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.

  • 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

    A chauffeur stands nervously in front of his Rolls Royce car in London, waiting and biting his nails.

    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

    High clouds are lit by the sun after it has set. They're a vivid red thanks to the sun shining through the atmosphere. Street lights and the tops of houses are visible too.

    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 of the Covid19 Pandemic in July 2020, someone takes a break out in the open of a narrow street wearing a mask while he looks at his phone.

    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.

    Boolaboom, a “super-sized brass and percussion big-band” played on Oliver Plunkett Street, in front of the GPO and they were great!

  • The Service at An Brog

    Members of the band, The Service, play on stage at An Brog. A singer, bass guitarist, Saxophone player and drummer are visible.

    We saw The Service play in An Bróg last night and they were as good as they’ve always been.

    Best moment was, ‘For anyone under, uh, 50, THIS IS SKA!’

    I’ll admit I didn’t know Madness were a ska band. My wife introduced me to the wider world of that genre of music!

    A worker dressed in orange overalls and a hard hat inspects a device he's working on while standing at the edge of a busy road. Cars and busses behind him.

    A worker on a busy road in Edinburgh, Scotland. It’s a busy road, so it’s a good thing he’s conspicuous!
