Sunset over Valencia
The sun lit up the clouds over Valencia in Spain one evening as rush hour continued.
Motionless in Transit
Caught motionless in time, a young man is forever riding his motorbike on a city street at night.
Wait For Green
ESPERE VERDE! Wait green! On a street in Valencia I saw the white bars of the pedestrian crossing, a “safe zone” to cross the road for pedestrians. Then I noticed the person crossing the road, their clothes neatly matched the bars of paint.
Yet another shopper

Frozen in motion
I was out walking in Valencia and spotted a cyclist headed in my direction at speed. That’s not so uncommon, but he was cycling really fast through the area. He caught my attention, I photographed him. High ISO FTW!
Fishing at sunset
On a lovely evening in Puerto del Carmen, a man fishes in the waters of the Atlantic. The sun is setting, but the evening is still warm, even in January!

“Well, it is in here somewhere. I’ll find it eventually.””Oh sure, you forgot it, didn’t you?””Give her a chance. It probably fell between the seats.””OK, GOT IT!”
Have a seat on the bridge
In Valencia, Spain, they rerouted a river that ran through the city, making a very long park through the city. The Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias, the science museum, is behind me, nestled in the space the river once took, while in front is the Pont l’Assut de l’Or. It’s a beautiful bridge…
Shadowy Groynes at Sunset
As the sun sets, one thing I like to do is intentionally moving the camera lens, so the resulting picture is more abstract, but still captures the colours and shadows of the sunset. This is what I did in Youghal a few months ago with Blarney Photography Club. Standing in the water, I swung the…
