The waterfall of light
It was a very calm evening when we visited Mullinhassig last, and when I spotted the light coming through the leaves at the top of this photo I loved how it contrasted with the dark of the water below.
The Odeon of Herodes Atticus
The Odeon of Herodes Atticus is built on the slopes of the Acropolis. It must be stunning to view a stage performance there, but on this sunny afternoon it was empty, except for some people setting up cables, probably for a performance later that day.
Hidden History
A car parked on the pavement of a street at 190 Leof. Ionias in Athens, Greece. It’s half covered by sheets of plastic and cloth, but looking at Google Street View it appears to be there since at least 2022. Other cars have occupied this spot since at least 2009. That’s how far back that…

A cat on a car roof
A tabby cat on a car roof, down a narrow street in Athens. He watched us carefully as we walked past, but he’s obviously used to people and didn’t budge at all, even as a stopped and took a few photos of him.
Laughing and chatting
Two women enjoying a chat while seated on a bench by a canal in Amsterdam. It was a lovely afternoon.
