H&M, one of the larger tenants in the new shopping center being built here on Academy Street.

Emma, a small alley somewhere in San Francisco. Shot three years ago while on a photowalk around the city. Only 9 places left for the photowalk tomorrow. I emailed everyone today. Did you get your email?

A warning sign on the beach in Youghal, County Cork.
