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 Malaga Promenade
The Palmeral de Las Sorpresas, a promenade on Malaga Harbour is all lit up at night, with Malaga Cathedral in the background. All reflected in the water of the harbour.

A Lifebuoy Saves Lives
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
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
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
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!

Flooding in Fitzgerald Park
Fitzgerald Park in Cork City is a bit flooded after the recent rain. The children’s play area is totally flooded, as it’s lower than the surrounding ground, and the pond is overflowing onto the surrounding path.
They were waiting for the River Lee to overflow about an hour later!
