There are many ways of waiting on a busy shopping street.

Momentarily alone in a crowd at the Dingle Races a few years ago.

A woman, deep in thought, wondering what she’ll buy at a market in London a few years ago. I only noticed she had her glasses sitting on her head. Ingenious! I hate wearing sunglasses while walking, as I have to replace them with my glasses when I go somewhere dark.

2023 is almost over here in Ireland. How’s 2024 in Australia? Let’s say goodbye to what has been a mixed year and hope for a better 2024. Happy new year! Edit a short while later: I shouldn’t have asked about Australia. They’re suffering from a terrible heatwave of 49.5℃!

A woman checks her phone in front of the Covent Garden Underground station, with a huge poster for Frozen, the musical, behind her.

I was waiting for someone to come out of a shop, so I did some street photography while I was in London. I found a chauffeur standing in front of his Rolls Royce car, waiting, too. I wonder who owns the car?

Clouds in the sky are lit up by the sun after it has set. They’re a vivid red thanks to the light travelling through the thick atmosphere just beyond the horizon.

A rowing boat on the River Lee on a warm August evening 2022. The lovely warm glow of the sun shines on the grass nearby, but the river bank opposite is in shadow.
