Feeling Slightly Disjointed

A couple look at themselves in the angled mirror facade of a building in Paris. Their legs are separated from their torsos by the reflection.

The mirrors of 123 Champs-Élysées reflect a broken view of the world, making passers-by smile and laugh.

I wonder what was going through this woman’s mind as she looked at the wigs on display in this shop in Valencia, Spain.

The Fiery Red Tree

A sculpture of a tree sits atop a high stone tower, with a starry sky behind.

Atop a high stone tower in Clogheenmilcon Sanctuary Walk, near Blarney, is a sculpture of a tree. It was created by sculptor, Don Cronin and is impossible to miss if you’re walking in the sanctuary.

This was taken last night when temperatures had dropped to -4.5ºC. I didn’t stay out very long, but braver souls from Blarney Photography Club did!

Missing the Sights

A person with their head down looking at a phone. They're wrapped up warmly against the (IMO) mild October weather in Lisbon. Another man next to them looks off in another direction. They're standing on a pavement made of tiny square tiles in a decorative pattern.

Mobile phones are handy, but you miss the world if you’re looking at them. My wife will laugh when she sees me say this.

Many years ago, on a cold January day in Arizona we came across a small yard where metal works were being sold. One of those was an unusual metal robot with a red and white hat on it’s head, saying “LET IT SNOW”.

It didn’t snow, but it was cold at night!

Hussey’s Folly and the green fields

On a lovely evening in August 2020, we were visiting Dingle in Co. Kerry. A walk out to Hussey’s Folly is always on the cards, I think this evening was the last time we saw Fungie too. He was swimming in the bay, just off shore, surrounded by boats, as he always was.

A selfie with the Eiffel Tower

A young woman poses for a selfie in front of the Eiffel Tower as it is all lit up. Other people are sitting down nearby. The Eiffel Tower is reflected in the waters of the Fontaine du Jardin du Trocadéro.

Shandon Bells and Houses

The spire of St. Anne's Church (Shandon Bells) rises above the surrounding houses and street next to it at sunset with cloudy skies overhead.

Shandon Bells, seen from a slightly different perspective than the one at Bell’s Field we’re used to. It’s surrounded by houses and roads, and even by the nearby brewery, of which you can see a small portion of in this photo.

The Marina will be improved

A cyclist reads a sign next to a road. The sign is blurred due to a narrow depth of field, but is about the Marina Promenade Improvement Works.
