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.

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.

Smile for the camera

A woman photographs a man in a hat, in front of the tram I'm on. She has her phone up to her face. 2 younger women are nearby, while a couple walk in from the right and a woman looks at her phone in the background near them.

She took a photo of me while I was on a tram passing by on this street in Lisbon, Portugal. I took a photo of what, I think, is a much more interesting scene.

So many steps

Looking down the steps of the Escadinhas Damasceno Monteiro in Lisbon. Fish graffiti adorn the walls of a nearby home.

The steps at the bottom of the Escadinhas Damasceno Monteiro in Lisbon. Beautiful butterfly graffiti and a crudely written "FREE PALESTINE" on the wall.

The city of Lisbon is infamous for its hills, and the Escadinhas Damasceno Monteiro is a fine example. It is down the street from where we were staying. It’s got lots of steps. So many steps.

A Momentary Smile

Three men pictured on a street. Two of them smiling while the third is walking past. In the background is a large torn poster with eyes visible.

All smiles in Lisbon.

The Lilac Hat on Tour

A tour group listens to their guide. Many of the people are wearing hats and one person who is one of the few people in focus in this photo is wearing a nice lilac hat that caught my attention.

A tour group in Malaga listens to a tour guide talk outside the cathedral. I liked the colour of the lilac hat in the foreground.

Missing the Sights

A person with their head down looking at a phone. They're wrapped up warmly against the (IMO) mild October weather in Lisbon. Another man next to them looks off in another direction. They're standing on a pavement made of tiny square tiles in a decorative pattern.

Mobile phones are handy, but you miss the world if you’re looking at them. My wife will laugh when she sees me say this.

Don’t look back

A woman on her phone looks over her shoulder at some commotion, off camera, that has caught her attention. We’ll never know what.

An umbrella in the rain

It's raining and some people are carrying umbrellas to protect themselves from the downpour. Others walk around without, along a street.

Sometimes all you need is an umbrella. When it’s raining, it’s the best thing.
