  • Fun at the Dragon of Shandon

    A blurry shot of a woman on roller skates taking part in the parade. She's got wonderful makeup and dressed in dark clothes, while nearby another woman swings lights. Behind them are others in the parade.

    Happy Halloween!! Last night was my first time photographing the Dragon of Shandon parade, and it was incredible! The weather was pretty bad, with intermittent rain showers, and it was a cold October evening. Brrr.

    That didn’t dampen the spirits of all the participants, who danced and hollered and stumbled along like zombies or medieval executioners. Not to mention the fabulous floats!

    More photos to come. I haven’t had time to look over them all yet. Check out the ones Fergal shared here on Facebook!

    Remembering you, Robert, the first time I went to this, and you’re not there with your camera.

  • Inside a spooky shop

    A woman passes, looking in at the Bubble Tea shop I'm looking out of. Plastic bats are flying around, suspended on thing string, to celebrate Halloween.

    Argh, the bats! The bats! Well, they’re very realistic, aren’t they? Spotted in a Bubble Tea shop in Dublin last year around this time of year.

    The waters of Malaga harbour are quiet, but there are many people walking around as the sun sets over the city. A lifebuoy could be the difference between life and death.

  • Castlerosse Park Resort Cottage

    A small cottage surrounded by a neat lawn and hedges with trees in the background.

    Situated at the edge of the woods behind the Castlerosse Park Resort golf course is this small cottage. We walked by it a few weeks ago when we were in the area to photograph the rutting.

    There was a car parked directly outside, so it’s occupied, but it’s so solitary and in a secluded area, it was like finding a magic cottage in the wood.

  • Painting a Malaga Mural

    A couple look at a mural of a woman in a blue dress on a street.

    I spotted this mural being painted in Malaga a few weeks ago. A few people gathered around to watch. The mural is a striking painting of a woman in a blue dress, sitting in front of a landscape and a sunset.

    The painting is called, “Brisa Estival” or “Summer Breeze” by the artist, Lalone, according to this report.

    Brisa estival es el título de esta segunda obra creada por el artista Lalone, un especialista en murales urbanos, y que se integra dentro del proyecto Atardeceres Larios. El artista propone una interpretación contemporánea de la obra Días de verano realizada por el pintor Vicente Palmaroli en el año 1885 y que se expone en el Thyssen malagueño.

    (Brisa summer is the title of this second work created by the artist Lalone, a specialist in urban murals, and which is integrated within the Larios Sunsets project. The artist proposes a contemporary interpretation of the work Days of Summer by the painter Vicente Palmaroli in 1885 and which is exhibited in the Malaga Thyssen.)

    The translation above was done by Firefox, but Google Translate translated the name of the mural differently. You can find the painting, “Summer Days” by Vincente Palmaroli here.

    It’s a fabulous mural. If you visit Malaga, it’s well worth seeing.

  • Construction at Sunset

    Cranes loom over apartments and hotels near Malaga as the sun sets on a lovely October evening

    From the top of the hotel I was staying at, I saw this lovely sunset happen and had to capture some images of it before the colour disappeared. Cranes dot the landscape, a sign of continued expansion in the Spanish tourist industry!
