    Red and white light trails of passing cars under the High Street Bridge in Cork.

    Cars go up and down the South Link Road underneath the High Street Bridge in Cork.

    There’s a four lane highway through Malaga but in December and January they have great decorations over the street.

    As before, these images were cut up with the convert command:

  • Birds enjoying the sunrise

    Two birds sitting on a TV ariel on a house, as the sun rises behind them casting lovely colours on the sky.

    A simple sunrise this morning. Two birds sitting on an ariel high up over the house had a great vantage point of the lovely colours in the sky.
