Three friends sit on the steps next to the Tagus in Lisbon, Portugal. I was curious and looked up the area on Google Maps. I think I came across the best Google Street View image nearby! I wonder if that dog owner knows his dog is on Google Maps?

It started raining while we were visiting LXFactory in Lisbon. It was lashing down and people hurried to get to shelter. Where one person sees a hindrance, another might see an opportunity, so I still had my camera out! I held it under my coat when necessary, but I got a few shots I’m happy…

The city of Lisbon lay before me as I looked out the window of my apartment. We had quite a view from the living room window, so one night I made this time blend photo of the city. In the background you’ll find the statue of the Sanctuary of Christ the King and the suspension…

I spotted a woman walking past with her two dogs. Moments before, the chihuahua was barking his head off, but he quietened down when he saw me. An obvious poser, and he just loves the camera!

One of the trams of the Elevador da Bica photographed by me as I went past in another tram along Largo Calhariz. A famous sight in Lisbon, and I was lucky to catch this photo as we trundled along.

In the Diagon Alley section of “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter” in Florida we were entertained by singers and dancers. This woman was first out but she was soon joined by others to sing for us.

In March 2012, I visited Iceland with my team from work and for our activity day we went to the Blue Lagoon for a swim. It was March and, as illustrated by the photos above, snow blanketed the ground, and it was freezing! The water was lovely and warm, and you’d be fine as long…

If you do the Caminito del Rey hike, you’ll come across this bridge at the end of your journey. The old bridge isn’t used any more as a modern suspension bridge has been built right next to it. It’s still quite a sight as you walk over it and definitely not somewhere to go if…

The Palmeral de Las Sorpresas, a promenade on Malaga Harbour is all lit up at night, with Malaga Cathedral in the background. All reflected in the water of the harbour.

Chatting next to a mural in Malaga, Spain.

A street artist draws a portrait while other finished work sits on the ground near his feet. He works on the street next to the cathedral in Malaga, Spain.

I spotted this mural being painted in Malaga a few weeks ago. A few people gathered around to watch. The mural is a striking painting of a woman in a blue dress, sitting in front of a landscape and a sunset. The painting is called, “Brisa Estival” or “Summer Breeze” by the artist, Lalone, according…
