A Moment in Red Stripes

I spotted this scene a couple of years ago while out with my photography club. It was all stripes: stripes on his polo shirt, and stripes on the shuttered shop behind him.

City Life Through Generations

What caught my eye initially was the two older gentlemen in the foreground, but I love that the riders of the bike are wearing similarly coloured clothes. Dark and bright, both.

Waiting for the Bus on Grand Parade

A young couple at the Grand Parade bus stop, with their phones out, caught my eye on a mild May afternoon in 2018. I couldn’t help but notice their shoes. Are they matching, or is it just the angle?

The crowds of Monastiraki Square

Monastiraki Square in Athens is a busy area for tourists, right next to many of the ancient sites of the city. It’s a bustling area, full of interesting characters, both local and foreign, and a great place to visit for a street photographer!

Urban Geometry in Valencia

An interesting building that caught my attention on the C. del Mar in Valencia. Just around the corner from the Placa de la Reina.

All Stripes and Horns

A Bongo Antelope at Bioparc Valencia was relaxing under the shade when he looked behind at the humans visiting. The baboons in an enclosure nearby were getting most of the attention, though.

Everyday Life at the Market

A vendor in a market in Malaga places Strawberries out on display. It’s difficult to believe this was 2018. It seems like a lifetime away.
