Motionless in Transit
Caught motionless in time, a young man is forever riding his motorbike on a city street at night.
Wait For Green
ESPERE VERDE! Wait green! On a street in Valencia I saw the white bars of the pedestrian crossing, a “safe zone” to cross the road for pedestrians. Then I noticed the person crossing the road, their clothes neatly matched the bars of paint.

Frozen in motion
I was out walking in Valencia and spotted a cyclist headed in my direction at speed. That’s not so uncommon, but he was cycling really fast through the area. He caught my attention, I photographed him. High ISO FTW!
Fishing at sunset
On a lovely evening in Puerto del Carmen, a man fishes in the waters of the Atlantic. The sun is setting, but the evening is still warm, even in January!
The Blue Lagoon in Iceland

Have a seat on the bridge
In Valencia, Spain, they rerouted a river that ran through the city, making a very long park through the city. The Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias, the science museum, is behind me, nestled in the space the river once took, while in front is the Pont l’Assut de l’Or. It’s a beautiful bridge…
