Convergence at the Pantheon
I love the converging lines of columns like this. The stone work is so old, and here I am just sitting next to it taking a photo.
City of Shadows and Light
Buildings loom overhead at a corner of Pl. de la Constitución in Malaga.
Luminescence in Azure
When you walk into the Oceanogràfic de València in (guess where) Valencia, you’ll spot large glowing tanks of water. They’re underground, presumably to help keep them cool in the hot Spanish climate and unfortunately, most people just walked straight past them. Now, I’m not a huge fan of jellyfish, but they’re a beautiful animal to…
Classical Contemplation
Jaysus, I nearly dropped me phone when I spotted this scene in the Musée d’Orsay like. There’s your man on the left, pure glued to his iPhone, probably updating his Insta or whatever, and the other fella hanging on to some pamphlet or other. And there in the middle, this massive marble yoke, probably worth…
Urban Decay in Green and White
I spotted this scene while walking up the hill next to the harbour in the old town of Puerto del Carmen. The peeling paint of the window frame attracted my attention, but then the modern signs stood out in contrast to the white painted wall. Just one of those things I like about looking around.

A Maritime Giant
A container ship dwarfs the pier where Spike Island tours have their office at Cobh.
The Speed of Light on London Streets
The speed of light is definitely more than 20mph in London.
A Thirsty Ostrich
An ostrich at the Valencia Bioparc, near where I photographed this rhino. Hey look! Another Ostrich!
A Rhino’s Reflection
A white rhino wanders near a pool of water in Bioparc Valencia, Spain. In 2023, two rhinos arrived in the zoo and in December that year, they had the largest group of this threatened species in Spain. The biggest threat to them is, of course, humans who want to poach the animals for their horns…
JD Sports Coming Soon!
It was October 2019 and JD Sports had yet to open their shop on Patrick’s Street in Cork. The back of the building, on Drawbridge Street, featured JD Sports hoarding, but now it’s derelict, with “TO LET” signs in the windows, and the SAVOY entrance is boarded up. A sign of the times. The city…
