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.

After photographing the National Space Centre on a dark January evening I turned around and spotted this silhouette. Luckily, there wasn’t much of a wind blowing, but we were lucky. A chill wind blew in a few minutes later.

Long shadows at sunset

A street at sunset from above. A person walks in the light of the setting sun, casting a long shadow behind them. Another figure walks up the road, while a group of people are on a path to the right. Lots of parked cars and the brake lights of a car on the right are visible as it is on a hill.

Lovely golden light casts long shadows on a street in Lisbon.

Flowers of the Eiffel Tower

The EIffel Tower in the distance while at ground level are lovely flowers and plants.

When you visit the Eiffel Tower, you’ll see the massive Jardin de la Tour Eiffel stretch off into the distance. In warm weather, the gardens are thronged with people in the evenings who gather to watch the Eiffel Tower light up.

This photo was shot on one such evening. The night was calm, and warm and it was lovely to be out.

Lost in Paris

Someone sits on a rock bench, lost in a book, while in the background a woman in white seems lost in the courtyard of the Panthéon, Paris.

A long figure seems lost in the courtyard of the Panthéon in Paris, while another sits on a rock bench lost in a book. An actual, honest to goodness, paper book.

A Modern Sky

Looking up next to a building with coloured stripes to the left, and an apartment block to the right. Blue sky with light cloud in the middle.

Walking past the Museum Brandhorst in Munich and I noticed the pleasing lines of the museum and the repeating pattern of the flats next door.

A church in shadow

A side door of the Igreja Paroquial da Graça in Lisbon catches the first rays of the sun. The door is red, and a long diagonal shadow stretches across the door.

A gift of colour

I was walking up the street behind a man dressed in blue and this photo presented itself to me. Pink and blue and a man in a baseball cap. All gone within seconds.

The interesting shop

Five women look in a shop call MI FLAMENCA through two separate windows at the tourist knick knacks for sale. They're maybe unaware of each other as they are separated by a corner. A postbox sits at the corner, waiting for postcards home.

Down a side street in Valencia I spotted five ladies looking in the windows of a tourist shop selling T-shirts, fridge magnets, kitchen towels, bags and all sorts of other knick-knacks.

Bright clothes on a dull day

3 people sitting at a table outside a pub wearing bright clothes. A man wearing yellow. A woman wearing a bright pink jacket. Another man wearing a bright green woolly hat. People around them wearing ordinary, by contrast, drab clothing. Another table sits empty in front of them.

It was lovely seeing people dressed in bright clothes last Saturday when it was overcast and fairly dull outside. Yellow, pink and green made a nice change from the mostly muted colours other people wore.
