The Blue Tuk Tuk
A blue tuk tuk driving along in front of the blue Court of Appeal of Lisbon in Portugal. I wonder how comfortable they are on those cobbles?
Light of my tree
Christmas decorations brighten up our tree, with the lights casting a soft glow on everything. Merry Christmas, and happy holidays if you’re celebrating.
Michael Collins and the Big Wheel
I was out and about with friends from Blarney Photography Club on Thursday night, and we got some great shots of the big wheel on Grand Parade. This year the big wheel is joined by a statue of the Big Fellah, Michael Collins. Check out Henry’s photo here.
The Big Wheel Portal
This Ferris Wheel or Big Wheel is a portal to a new world. Look carefully, and you can see Cork at the end of the portal. Check out Henry and Nuala’s photos from last night: Henry, Nuala 1, and Nuala 2.
NAF1 in Lisbon
Nobody knows who NAF1 is, but in my research I did find a Portuguese company called NAF. Seems they’re involved in real estate and probably not a fan of graffiti. I don’t imagine this man is either.
Waiting for a Taxi
“Look, the taxi is coming now. I see it!””It better be Afonso driving. He owes me €10 from the other night.””Oh, doesn’t look like it. Not his car. You lent him that money to buy a gift for his mom, didn’t you?””Yeah, He paid far too much for a little figurine, but his mom loves…
The sunglasses guy
You want sunglasses? I got sunglasses. No way, it’s not too dark to wear them. You can still see everything with the street lights!
Dreaming of Handstands
Wandering around Lisbon I came across this bus stop in the middle of the city. The guy pictured in the back of the bus stop caught my attention, contrasting nicely with the people waiting at the stop. When I got home, I looked up the text, “O SONHO NÃO PARA, ARRANCA”, it says, “THE DREAM…
The Tram in the Window
We took a trip around Lisbon on a tourist tram. It’s probably not worth it unless you’re obsessed with taking photos, so I loved it.You do get to see a lot of the city, and it is relaxing. It is cheaper to get an ordinary tram, say route 28, and sight see that way, but…
Look into my eyes
Sometimes I’m making photos on the street, or in this case, photographing from a moving tram, and someone will make eye contact. They’ll stand out from the crowd because they are different and made a connection.
Cobbles, Light and Shadow
I visited the Igreja Paroquial da Graça (Church of Our Lady of Grace) in Lisbon early one morning. There’s a beautiful view of the city, but if you look behind and around you’ll find these lovely cobbles. In the early morning, the houses opposite cast a shadow on the street and on the wall of…
Motion Around the Eiffel Tower
Life is all around beneath the Eiffel Tower. Most people are walking but the people selling mini Eiffel Towers and other knick knacks to tourists are the only ones stationary.
