The Speed of Light on London Streets
The speed of light is definitely more than 20mph in London.
A Thirsty Ostrich
An ostrich at the Valencia Bioparc, near where I photographed this rhino. Hey look! Another Ostrich!
A Rhino’s Reflection
A white rhino wanders near a pool of water in Bioparc Valencia, Spain. In 2023, two rhinos arrived in the zoo and in December that year, they had the largest group of this threatened species in Spain. The biggest threat to them is, of course, humans who want to poach the animals for their horns…
JD Sports Coming Soon!
It was October 2019 and JD Sports had yet to open their shop on Patrick’s Street in Cork. The back of the building, on Drawbridge Street, featured JD Sports hoarding, but now it’s derelict, with “TO LET” signs in the windows, and the SAVOY entrance is boarded up. A sign of the times. The city…
Waves of Time
A lone rock on Long Strand, Co Cork, as waves crash around it. The water is reduced to a misty blur in this long exposure shot. If you look carefully, you’ll see the Galley Head Lighthouse in the background.
Swimming in the Sky
One from the same rooftop as yesterday’s photo of Malaga. The hotel had a rooftop pool, and when I ventured up there it was lit up. It was too cold to swim on an April evening, but the light was surreal. 🙂
Malaga by Night
I was perched on the roof of my hotel in Malaga when I took this long exposure shot of Malaga at night. A few cars drove by, captured as streaks of light, and I was delighted that the Cathedral was still lit up.
A Smoke Break in Athens
We were on our way to lunch when I spotted this gentleman sitting on a crate, chatting to a person in a newspaper kiosk.
Anchovy Symphony in Black and White
I’m not a huge fan of anchovies, but the way these fish were displayed caught my eye. The silvery fish created an almost hypnotic pattern across the vendor’s counter, their tiny bodies catching the harsh market lights in a way that demanded to be photographed.
A Moment’s Pause in Málaga
Sometimes you have to stop and let humanity go past when there are too many people around.
The Daily Commuter
While waiting for the train in Athens, I spotted a pigeon walking around the station, calm as you can imagine, as if he owned the place. A few minutes later, a train rolled in, passengers started moving, and the pigeon flew into the rafters. Observing all that he rules.
The Cat in the big smoke
There’s something delightfully peculiar about finding a cat on a lead. I spotted these two characters taking a break near Camden Town in London. The scene just screamed to be photographed. The smoke caught in the sunlight and the cat’s nonchalant pose, how could I resist? It’s a candid shot, of course, and as the…
