A Sunset Dog Walk in Malaga

A dog and his owner waiting to cross the road, in Malaga, Spain.

There’s something special about taking photos of everyday moments, especially when they involve dogs. As I was walking through Malaga, Spain, I came across a man and his furry companion waiting to cross the road. The setting sun cast a warm glow on everything around us, and the long shadows made for an interesting composition.

The dog, a small but scruffy pup, stood obediently at his owner’s side, tail wagging slowly as he looked up at his human. The man wore a relaxed smile, one that spoke of contentment and peace. Together, they waited for the signal to cross, the dog’s ears perked up, taking in the sounds and smells of the street.

It was a simple moment, one that might go unnoticed by others, but it felt like a privilege to capture it through my lens. Sometimes, it’s these unassuming moments that hold the most beauty.

Red Hot Discounts in Shop Window

A woman dressed in red looks in the door of a shop. In the window can be seen a sign saying, "REBAJAS HASTA - 50%"

As the woman walked down the street, her attention was drawn to a vibrant red sign in the window of a shop. The sign read “REBAJAS HASTA – 50%,” indicating a significant sale. Intrigued, she paused to take a closer look at the window display.

Dressed in red herself, the woman peered through the door of the shop to catch a glimpse of the discounted items inside. She couldn’t help but wonder what treasures awaited her within the store. With the promise of discounts up to 50%, she knew it would be worth investigating further.

Phone-Obsessed Youth in the City

Two young men, both on their phones. One leaning against the wall, the other a delivery rider on his motorbike.

As I was walking down the street, I noticed two young men engrossed in their phones. The first was casually leaning against the wall, while the second was perched on his motorbike, which was parked nearby. Despite being in different positions, they were both completely absorbed in their screens, lost in their own digital worlds.

Bench Talk and Poster People

A woman sitting on a bench on the phone. The bench is held up by what looks like a human figure on one end, and barely visible behind her a dog on the other. Two people stare out of a poster, with the text, "You're On"

A woman sitting on a bench, engrossed in her phone. The bench is a unique design, held up by what appears to be a human figure on one end, and a dog on the other, giving it a whimsical and artistic look. Behind her, a poster catches the eye, featuring two people staring out with the text “You’re On,” likely an advertisement for a product or service.

As I walk by, I can’t help but marvel at the creativity and quirkiness of the bench design, and how it adds character to the urban landscape. Meanwhile, the poster behind the woman adds an intriguing element, leaving me to ponder what it could be advertising and how it connects to the theme of being “on.” It’s moments like these that remind me of the small, yet interesting details that make our daily surroundings unique and worth exploring.

A Man and His Cigarette

A man contemplates his cigarette while sitting on the steps of a building. He's wearing a woolly hat and a scarf as it's late December in Malaga.

During a walk through the bustling streets of Malaga, I happened upon a man who was seated upon the steps of a nearby building. As I approached him, I observed that he appeared to be deep in thought, his gaze fixed upon the cigarette he was smoking. Despite the cool temperature, he seemed content and at ease, bundled up in a cosy woolly hat and scarf. Notably, he wore a vibrant red watch on his wrist, adding a pop of colour to his otherwise understated attire.

Palm trees in the sunset

Palm trees silhouetted by a sky coloured by a sun that has already set. Loading cranes and buildings can be seen in the background.

In this scene, a serene moment is captured as palm trees are silhouetted against the stunning orange and pink hues of a setting sun. The warm glow of the sky sets a peaceful and calming mood, contrasting against the harshness of the container ship in the distance. The ship is barely visible, with only the skeletal cranes visible above it in the silhouette. It appears to be in the process of loading, a task that will go on, even though it’s late.

More light trails from passing traffic in Malaga.

It was a nice warm night. I was listening to the Shakespeare episode of the Short History Of podcast. Good memories.
