Met him eating mushrooms

Two men lean against a wall while one checks his phone and the other looks on. A poster on railings behind them is partially seen and says "Cork Cycli.. Fes..." Street furniture is painted with the text "MET HIM EATING MUSH ROOMS IN THE PEOPLE'S PARK" and the other has a figure pointing at their own head with a mic on a stand.

Bishop Lucey Park in Cork is now a building site, but on this July day in 2023 it was just a quiet day in the city, with some cyclists, obviously.

Another tourist in Malaga

A tourist looks up at something unseen out of frame in Malaga, Spain.

Malaga has a huge tourist industry and is great for street photography. I think I’ve posted at least five images over the years from this very street, and have a couple more to go, too!

Friends hanging around

A group of young people sitting on a window sill down a side street. A woman and two men. They each have phones and the man on the right is speaking to someone outside the frame.

Sunrise by the Brickeen Bridge

Reeds in the foreground, then water and far away hills are coloured yellow by the rising sun behind clouds in the sky.

On a trip with Blarney Photography Club to the Lakes of Killarney a year ago, we photographed the water as the sun rose over the mountains in the distance.

ICM of sunset water

The public toilets at Warren Beach, Co Cork, might seem like an unusual photo, but they were the only source of light nearby. Apart from a few minutes later when I ran up and down the beach with the flashlight on my phone for some fun long exposure shots.

Reflections in the pond

Houses, trees, sky and street furniture are reflected in a pond in Lisbon.

Near the Igreja Paroquial da Graça in Lisbon, I found a small pond that had a lovely reflection.

A fork in the forest

A path forks left and right around the ruins of a building in a forest.

The path forks around one of the ruins of the gunpowder mill in Ballincollig Regional Park, Cork. Everything is overgrown, but access is easy. Inside that building, it looks like this.

Young man walking

A woman holding her dog on the lead. He's sitting on the ground of a pedestrian bridge. The river visible in the background. A man walks past, looking directly at me.

Others are enjoying the setting sun, while this man walking past looked directly at me just as I clicked the shutter.

At the Jeweller

A woman and her two kids, with a man nearby, presumably her partner, look in the window of a jeweller's as someone inside picks out something.

She’s picking out something she likes.

A tourist stares

A woman stares at the tram I'm travelling on, unaware that I'm taking her photo. She is dressed warmly as it is November, and even in Lisbon it gets chilly.

The tram trundles past and people stare at it, unaware I have captured the moment. Lisbon, November 2023.
