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…
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. This is a time blend photo. Two images, shot at different times of the day, combined into one. The sky…
Sunset over Valencia
The sun lit up the clouds over Valencia in Spain one evening as rush hour continued.
Wait For Green
ESPERE VERDE! Wait green! On a street in Valencia I saw the white bars of the pedestrian crossing, a “safe zone” to cross the road for pedestrians. Then I noticed the person crossing the road, their clothes neatly matched the bars of paint.
Yet another shopper

Frozen in motion
I was out walking in Valencia and spotted a cyclist headed in my direction at speed. That’s not so uncommon, but he was cycling really fast through the area. He caught my attention, I photographed him. High ISO FTW!
The Blue Lagoon in Iceland
In March 2012, I visited Iceland with my team from work and for our activity day we went to the Blue Lagoon for a swim. It was March and, as illustrated by the photos above, snow blanketed the ground, and it was freezing! The water was lovely and warm, and you’d be fine as long…
The Gorilla in Valencia
A Western lowland gorilla from the Republic of the Congo sits on the ground outside a viewing area where humans gaze at him. He lives in the Bioparc in Valencia, Spain, and I think his name is Mambie. He was born in 1991 and is a beautiful animal, but when we were there, he charged…
A stag and his grass
