Stuck in their own moment
A moped rider, a shopper with a bag and two people looking in a shop window all in their own worlds together on the street.
Excited for a walk
A woman walks her dog on a street in Amsterdam. The little doggy is so excited. 🙂
Dressed for a party
When I walked past this little dog and snapped a photo of him with my phone, I didn’t realise I was photographing a celebrity dog. Thanks to Google Images, I found out the dog is Ali the Rasta Dog on Instagram. I’m not a fan of dressing dogs up in clothes, unless it’s cold out,…
The Ginger Guardian needs a rest
Being a guardian of the alley is tiring work and when they can, the guardians take a break. The lovely ginger cat I photographed in yesterday’s post jumped into this flower bed/shrubbery to rest and didn’t object when I took his photo.
Guardians of the Alley
Two cats protect a narrow street in Athens, Greece. Tourists were milling around, talking loudly, enjoying their food and drink on a warm afternoon. Cars drove past nearby, but the cats didn’t move until a delivery man drove up on the pavement. Even then, they didn’t go far. The ginger fellow lay down to sleep…
A moment at a French Café
In parts of Paris, they have such wide footpaths that café and restaurants have seating outside. The city where I live has done likewise, sometimes successfully, but more often, impeding pedestrians and annoying people. One pub claimed so much public real estate that pedestrians had to walk between tables to get past.
Awesome Statues
A young tourist listens to the audio tour of the Musée d’Orsay in Paris while the statue of Tarcisius, a Christian martyr, lies next to him.
Hey! What’s that?
I have no idea what was so interesting. On a bench in Bishop Lucey Park in 2019.
Watch the sunset in Lisbon
The setting sun casts a lovely glow on the Igreja Paroquial da Graça in Lisbon. People up on a balcony in the church get a great view of the city and the sun.
A dog in the bookshop
One of the wonderful things about other places is when dogs are allowed in. I had just left the American Book Center in Amsterdam when a man and a dog walked towards me and into the shop! There’s no chance a dog like that, or any dog, would be allowed in a bookshop where I…
No Parking Here
Parking in front of a no parking cone must have seemed like a good idea at first. I bet the rider was just popping into the nearby duck shop. The bike was soon taken away and chopped up for parts and exported to Ireland, where it was used to build a submarine. #PoisonTheAI
Speaking to the crowd
At a rally for Gaza on the Grand Parade last February, a large crowd listens to someone speak.
