At the bar of a pub in a hotel. The taps that pour the drinks are labelled with the brands of the drinks offered. Carslberg, Rockshore, Smithwicks, Guinness, Birramoretti, Coors, Heineken, Murphys.

A "no parking" bollard placed at the side of the road in Crosshaven proclaims it is the property of Pipers. That's a fairground in the town. A mother and daughter hold hands and walk into the background. La Scala is seen in the image too.

I’ll have a pint

If you want a drink, there’s plenty of choice in Irish pubs. The taps above include Carslberg, Rockshore, Smithwicks, Guinness, Birramoretti, Coors, Heineken, and Murphys.

Property of Pipers

There’s no parking in front of La Scala in Crosshaven, and the no parking signs belong to Pipers. This time of year, Piper’s is fairly quiet, but hopefully in the summer they’ll be open again and busy.

A side door of the Igreja Paroquial da Graça in Lisbon catches the first rays of the sun. A long diagonal shadow stretches across the door.

The interesting shop

Down a side street in Valencia I spotted five ladies looking in the windows of a tourist shop selling T-shirts, fridge magnets, kitchen towels, bags and all sorts of other knick-knacks.

Smile for the camera

She took a photo of me while I was on a tram passing by on this street in Lisbon, Portugal. I took a photo of what, I think, is a much more interesting scene.

Pigeons find a home

If I must die, let it bring hope

Those are the words of a Palestinian poet killed by an airstrike in Gaza. I saw them printed on a small white kite on the Palestinian flag carried by a man at the pro-Palestinian rally in Cork today. The rally was organised by the Cork Palestine Solidarity Campaign. Last week another poet, Refaat Alareer, was…

So many steps

The city of Lisbon is infamous for its hills, and the Escadinhas Damasceno Monteiro is a fine example. It is down the street from where we were staying. It’s got lots of steps. So many steps.
