A Splash of Yellow and Red
A couple sitting at an outdoor table in a little café in Athens, Greece about a year ago. Their body language couldn’t be more different, and every time I look at this image, I wonder what they were talking about. Their roles in this conversation are opposed. He appears relaxed and confident, while she is…

Evening Light on Cathedral Lane, Edinburgh
Yesterday evening, walking along a road in Edinburgh, I saw that the setting sun was casting long shadows, and as luck would have it, those make interesting subjects, especially the light and dark of sun and shadow. Hopefully, the person in the pub was having a nice evening in there, it was lovely being out.
Shadow Play on a Scottish Street
Shadows on a wall as the sun sets in Edinburgh. I had hoped to go up Calton Hill this evening, but the Beltane fire festival is happening there tonight. I have to be up early in the morning, so I decided not to go, but now I already regret not going! I’d have stayed far…
Streetwise Cat of Athens
