The bookies will have a proper electronic board, not an inflexible board that looks like it was made for a child, when you know the tariffs odds will change.

The sun rose this morning a few minutes after 7am, but this is what the sky looked like about 8 minutes before. There was a glorious orange glow and the clouds were lit up from underneath by the sun coming around the globe and shining through the atmosphere.

The Cannonball Run brought a burst of excitement to the streets of Blarney back in 2018 despite the rain that day. It appears I only posted one photo from that day before. I must dig out more!

I love the narrow streets and alleys of Malaga. They’re great for street photography!

The Baltimore Beacon on one side and Sherkin Island on the other, while we travelled to that island on a day trip, the same day as this photo of the Wallis Buoy.

On my way to Sherkin Island, I came upon this floating masterpiece, complete with a solar panel that probably powers the seagull’s Netflix subscription.

If you don’t like crowds, you should avoid Valencia during the Fallas festival. I rarely saw any trouble.
