A model of Plac Matejki

A tiny model of Plac Matejki sits at one end of this elegant street in Krakow. In the distance is St. Florian’s Church. Taking a photo of the model is difficult enough, and of course, I didn’t have a macro lens, but I was happy with how it came out.

In the centre sits the Grunwald Monument.

The Captain likes Diet Coke

Wearing a cap that says “Capitan”, and dressed as he is in shorts and then in a warm jumper, I had to photograph him as he stood outside McDonald’s on Daunt Square.

I’m not sure what his name is, but I’ve seen him around Cork a few times since taking this photo last year.

Hidden History

A car parked on the pavement of a street at 190 Leof. Ionias in Athens, Greece. It’s half covered by sheets of plastic and cloth, but looking at Google Street View it appears to be there since at least 2022. Other cars have occupied this spot since at least 2009. That’s how far back that Street View goes.

A cat on a car roof

A tabby cat on a car roof, down a narrow street in Athens. He watched us carefully as we walked past, but he’s obviously used to people and didn’t budge at all, even as a stopped and took a few photos of him.

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 nearby!
