A VW bus at the Arc de Triomphe
We had just come out of the metro with our suitcases from the airport when I saw this VW bus, or as I’ve just found out, a Volkswagen Type 2, pulled over to the side of the road on the busy roundabout at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. It was a lovely August day…
Lisbon Tram 28
A tram on the world-famous route 28 in Lisbon rumbled past me as I walked up Rua da Graça. Many of the streets are very narrow, and the footpath is too, meaning the tram gets quite close as you walk along.
Three Friends
Three friends sit on the steps next to the Tagus in Lisbon, Portugal. I was curious and looked up the area on Google Maps. I think I came across the best Google Street View image nearby! I wonder if that dog owner knows his dog is on Google Maps?
Coloured Light in Water
It started raining while we were visiting LXFactory in Lisbon. It was lashing down and people hurried to get to shelter. Where one person sees a hindrance, another might see an opportunity, so I still had my camera out! I held it under my coat when necessary, but I got a few shots I’m happy…
The Escalator People
On an escalator in Paris, France. August when the city is quieter.
Modern dog walking
When you’re waiting for someone, your phone is handy. Unfortunately. We’re all disconnected. Malaga, 2018.
Waiting for a passenger
A rickshaw tuktuk driver waits for his next passenger and looks at his phone to pass the time. It’s a sunny day in Malaga, and he’s taking advantage of a momentary lull in business to catch up on social media.
The chihuahua model
I spotted a woman walking past with her two dogs. Moments before, the chihuahua was barking his head off, but he quietened down when he saw me. An obvious poser, and he just loves the camera!
Walking by the stall
Late one evening in Valencia I went walking with my son and, of course, I took my camera with me. He loved walking around the city. It was warm, and full of people living their lives. I noticed a man walking by himself near this stall, but he wasn’t much more than a silhouette in…
Elevador da Bica from another Tram
One of the trams of the Elevador da Bica photographed by me as I went past in another tram along Largo Calhariz. A famous sight in Lisbon, and I was lucky to catch this photo as we trundled along.
Lines of the Street
The black and white bands caught my attention on this street in Valencia.
The dolphins of L’Oceanogràfic Valencia
We visited the aquarium in Valencia while on a trip there, like most tourists do. It was a remarkable experience, even if I felt sad that a Beluga whale had what must be a small tank for such a large creature. The dolphin show was a sight to see. Commentary was in Spanish, so I…
