The lovely Keem Beach on Achill Island, photographed in 2019. It’s a beautiful part of Ireland that I would love to visit again some day.

Rural Barriers
Barbed wire along the edge of a field on Valentia Island is knotted to make sure the barrier holds.
I remember hearing a podcast about the use of barbed wire in the US, how, in the 19th century, it helped white farmers control herds and easily fence their territories.
The wikipedia page is quite interesting.

In 2019, Lulu was this beautiful blue VW bus and was a photo studio on the final night of the Automattic Grand Meetup in Florida that year.

A Busker in February
On a quiet February day in 2019 I walked down Winthrop Street and saw this busker strumming his guitar.

Careful on a bike
Weaving in and out between people walking along a pedestrianised street in Malaga, this delivery guy made good pace, without upsetting many people, thankfully.

Ian Bailey and The West Cork Way
Ian Bailey, the man accused of murdering a French woman, Sophie Toscan du Plantier, died today. Here he is in 2019, when he was selling his book, “The West Cork Way”, at a market in Skibereen.

Fishing at sunset
The Caminito del Rey Bridge
If you do the Caminito del Rey hike, you’ll come across this bridge at the end of your journey. The old bridge isn’t used any more as a modern suspension bridge has been built right next to it.
It’s still quite a sight as you walk over it and definitely not somewhere to go if you have a fear of heights.

A man and a blank mural
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.
