I was there too
This woman was screaming into a microphone on Grand Parade, Cork, for the last few years. This is a photo from 2022, but I remember seeing her in late 2024 too. I could never make out what she was saying as the sound was distorted so much by the volume on her speaker.
I hardly ever saw anyone talking to her. I wonder how effective this sort of preaching is?

I spotted this scene while walking up the hill next to the harbour in the old town of Puerto del Carmen. The peeling paint of the window frame attracted my attention, but then the modern signs stood out in contrast to the white painted wall. Just one of those things I like about looking around.

A cat sits on the slipway in the old town of Puerto del Carmen in Lanzarote, surveying the damage to a boat.
Or maybe he’s just enjoying the last rays of the sun on a warm January evening.

The speed of light is definitely more than 20mph in London.

There’s something delightfully peculiar about finding a cat on a lead. I spotted these two characters taking a break near Camden Town in London. The scene just screamed to be photographed. The smoke caught in the sunlight and the cat’s nonchalant pose, how could I resist?
It’s a candid shot, of course, and as the photo was taken in 2022. I wonder if they were and are still living in London?
I searched and found this TikTok video from later in 2022, so they were still around there in October that year!

A photographer with his phone captured the waves on Cuminole Strand a few years ago. It was a beautiful August afternoon, a far cry from the wintery weather outside right now!

The sun had just set beyond Dunmore Head, next to Coumeenoole Beach. I had arrived late, but in time to make a silhouette of the hill and catch clouds just peeping over the hill.
