Frozen in motion

I was out walking in Valencia and spotted a cyclist headed in my direction at speed. That’s not so uncommon, but he was cycling really fast through the area.

He caught my attention, I photographed him. High ISO FTW!

it’s in here somewhere

A woman looks in her car while her two friends wait for her.

“Well, it is in here somewhere. I’ll find it eventually.”
“Oh sure, you forgot it, didn’t you?”
“Give her a chance. It probably fell between the seats.”

“OK, GOT IT!”

Inside a spooky shop

A woman passes, looking in at the Bubble Tea shop I'm looking out of. Plastic bats are flying around, suspended on thing string, to celebrate Halloween.

Argh, the bats! The bats! Well, they’re very realistic, aren’t they? Spotted in a Bubble Tea shop in Dublin last year around this time of year.

A man and a blank mural

An elderly man sits on a bench in Bishop Lucey Park. The wall behind him is normally a mural but in July 2019, the wall was mostly blank.

In contrast to the photo yesterday of the same bench in 2015 when a mural appeared on the wall, this photo from July 2019 features a blank wall.

An elderly man, with his walker sits on the same bench. I hope he made it through the COVID pandemic.

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?

A Masked Break

At the height of the Covid19 Pandemic in July 2020, someone takes a break out in the open of a narrow street wearing a mask while he looks at his phone.

At the height (one of them, anyway) of the COVID19 pandemic in July 2020, someone takes a break on the street. He still wears his mask, despite being outside and nowhere near anyone.

Numbers of COVID19 infections are rising again, unfortunately. Schools are back after the summer. It’s so depressing.

A Path Through The Dunes

A path leading between dunes with tall grass on either side and threatening rain clouds up above

Grass is blown, and clouds are whisked through the air by winds that blow on to the beach at Long Strand, Co Cork.

The Adventures of an Ice cream fridge

An ice cream fridge is loaded into a van from a shop on Patrick's Street, Cork. Two men hold the mid section while another man bends down to lift it up. The end of a van and it's doors are visible on the right.

A fridge is removed from a corner shop on St. Patrick’s Street, Cork. The shop itself is now empty, but I’m sure it won’t be long until a phone shop or vape shop opens there.

Revolving chess board

A chessboard warped by the intentional sideways movement of the camera.

The squares of a chessboard become a blur as the camera is flung sideways as the shutter opens.

It’s the chessboard in Crosshaven, not that you’d recognise it from the photo!

Laurel & Hardy Visit Cobh

Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy performing on stage in Cobh, Co Cork.

Laurel & Hardy visited Cobh in Co. Cork today, exactly 70 years after they last visited in 1953! The two gentlemen are looking exceedingly well for their age, I’m sure you’ll agree. They put on a fine show, doing several sketches and singing a few favourites and doing a dance.

Lucky Dog Theatre Productions were in town this weekend for this special anniversary, and were helped by Haulbowline Theatre Group. They were so good. There were lots of laughs. 🙂
