Red Trousers on the Metro Steps

It was early in the morning on a lovely day in Madrid, Spain. I went out for an early walk to capture the comings and goings of the local population and chanced upon this woman coming out of the metro.

She probably made this journey hundreds of times. Hopefully, she’s still in Madrid.

A Moment in Red Stripes

I spotted this scene a couple of years ago while out with my photography club. It was all stripes: stripes on his polo shirt, and stripes on the shuttered shop behind him.

City Life Through Generations

What caught my eye initially was the two older gentlemen in the foreground, but I love that the riders of the bike are wearing similarly coloured clothes. Dark and bright, both.

Waiting for the Bus on Grand Parade

A young couple at the Grand Parade bus stop, with their phones out, caught my eye on a mild May afternoon in 2018. I couldn’t help but notice their shoes. Are they matching, or is it just the angle?

Waiting in Colour

Off to the side of Monastiraki Square, near the train station entrance is a Flormar store, and I when I saw what you see above I had to get a photo.

If you go there now, you might see that man. He was attending to a local stall and stepped away for a moment.

Photographing The Giant’s Causeway

The Giant’s Causeway, Co Antrim. A lovely place to visit at sunset but you won’t be the only one there. It’s a popular destination.
