The Diagon Alley Singer
In the Diagon Alley section of “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter” in Florida we were entertained by singers and dancers. This woman was first out but she was soon joined by others to sing for us.
The darkness of sunset
Sunset in Valencia and the street is dark, but the sky is lit up by the setting sun.
From Evening to Night in Cork
The north side of Cork City, with the North Cathedral and Shandon Bells visible. The Church of the Ascension is barely visible on the horizon, with the restored glowing cross bright in the night sky.
