Fireworks Lacking Colour
We waited hours for the fireworks on Spike Island yesterday and, of course, I have loads of photos of the event, which will be posted here in due course. Here’s one photo, done a little differently, but I like the effect the lines of the fireworks in the air made in the air. Removing the…
Up the steps
A person climbs the stairs of a car park in Figueres, right next to the Dalí Theatre and Museum, if memory serves. A beautiful building surrounded by brutal modern structures for modern car life.
Passenger Bikes

Steam from the Brewery
Steam rising from the Heineken brewery in Blackpool is a common enough sight, with the accompanying smell familiar to anyone who lives near a brewery.
Pigeons take flight
I heard him say, “sorry”, when his dog barked and scared all the pigeons, but he did me a favour. The pigeons in Bishop Lucey Park weren’t doing much!
