Pigeons take flight

I heard him say, “sorry”, when his dog barked and scared all the pigeons, but he did me a favour. The pigeons in Bishop Lucey Park weren’t doing much!

Met him eating mushrooms

Two men lean against a wall while one checks his phone and the other looks on. A poster on railings behind them is partially seen and says "Cork Cycli.. Fes..." Street furniture is painted with the text "MET HIM EATING MUSH ROOMS IN THE PEOPLE'S PARK" and the other has a figure pointing at their own head with a mic on a stand.

Bishop Lucey Park in Cork is now a building site, but on this July day in 2023 it was just a quiet day in the city, with some cyclists, obviously.

Damrak by Night

Houses by the water's edge are lit up and reflect in the still water. It's a night shot.

The Damrak in Amsterdam is a street in front of the main railway station of the city, where you can see the beautiful reflection pictured here.

If you’re lucky, the water will be as still as it was the night I photographed it. The reflections of the houses there are eye catching!

Phone or dog?

I had no idea what make this car was when it drove past, but Google Images says it’s probably a Cadillac of some sort from the 1960s. It looked beautiful, whatever it was, and the guy driving knew it too.

Bored of Ducks

A bored looking man behind a counter in a shop full of rubber ducks, including a huge one to the right of the photo.

As they say, “When you’re bored of ducks, you’re bored of life.” I hope he had an exciting evening when he finished work!

Music on the street

Three people sitting against a wall. Two are playing instruments, the guitar and saxaphone and the other person is smiling and enjoying the music. They have a box in front of them with a sign saying, "YOU ARE LOVED".

Three people sitting against a wall at one end of the Beurspassage in Amsterdam. They were really good, and it was nice to see people enjoying themselves playing music.

You are included

A train passing by on a street in Amsterdam caught my eye. It’s painted in the rainbow colours of the Pride Flag, with EVERYONE IS WELCOME HERE #YouAreIncluded printed on it!

#YouAreIncluded was the theme of the 2023 Pride Amsterdam, and it was nice to see the colours still there.

Wheels in Santa Monica

Wheels is a mural made by artist, Anne Marie Karlsen from ceramic on 2nd Street in downtown Santa Monica, but I didn’t know that when I saw it. The vibrant colours and design caught my eye, framed by the trees and a parked van. More about it from here:

Anne Marie Karlsen created Wheels, an ambitious and vibrant ceramic tile mural that adorns the west-facing wall of Parking Structure 8 on 2nd Street in downtown Santa Monica. The artwork reveals different compositions depending on one’s vantage point and the wheel motif is loosely inspired by the structure of the recently retired Pacific Wheel on the Santa Monica Pier. Upon closer examination, viewers will discover that the abstracted shapes in the circular forms are in fact, photographic images the artist took of the Pacific Wheel in motion. The composition is meant to create the sort of whirling, topsy-turvy effect that one experiences on an amusement ride. The artwork acknowledges a part of Santa Monica history, while simultaneously becoming a bold new design for the future.
