I was there too
Sometimes I’m making photos on the street, or in this case, photographing from a moving tram, and someone will make eye contact. They’ll stand out from the crowd because they are different and made a connection.

I visited the Igreja Paroquial da Graça (Church of Our Lady of Grace) in Lisbon early one morning. There’s a beautiful view of the city, but if you look behind and around you’ll find these lovely cobbles. In the early morning, the houses opposite cast a shadow on the street and on the wall of the church, and I loved it.

Life is all around beneath the Eiffel Tower. Most people are walking but the people selling mini Eiffel Towers and other knick knacks to tourists are the only ones stationary.

Three friends sit on the steps next to the Tagus in Lisbon, Portugal.
I was curious and looked up the area on Google Maps. I think I came across the best Google Street View image nearby! I wonder if that dog owner knows his dog is on Google Maps?

The city of Lisbon lay before me as I looked out the window of my apartment. We had quite a view from the living room window, so one night I made this time blend photo of the city. In the background you’ll find the statue of the Sanctuary of Christ the King and the suspension bridge, the Ponte 25 de Abril, linking Lisbon with Almada on the other side of the river.
I was lucky there was any sort of sunset that night as the weather had been terrible all day long with heavy rain rolling over the city, making the cobbled streets slippy.

I spotted a woman walking past with her two dogs. Moments before, the chihuahua was barking his head off, but he quietened down when he saw me. An obvious poser, and he just loves the camera!

Late one evening in Valencia I went walking with my son and, of course, I took my camera with me. He loved walking around the city. It was warm, and full of people living their lives. I noticed a man walking by himself near this stall, but he wasn’t much more than a silhouette in the darkness.

It’s a serious problem all over the world. Crows are walking on people. In Cork, they put up signs hoping to discourage the crows, but instead the crows just walk on the signs.
