Waves of Time
A lone rock on Long Strand, Co Cork, as waves crash around it. The water is reduced to a misty blur in this long exposure shot. If you look carefully, you’ll see the Galley Head Lighthouse in the background.
Swimming in the Sky
One from the same rooftop as yesterday’s photo of Malaga. The hotel had a rooftop pool, and when I ventured up there it was lit up. It was too cold to swim on an April evening, but the light was surreal. 🙂
Malaga by Night
I was perched on the roof of my hotel in Malaga when I took this long exposure shot of Malaga at night. A few cars drove by, captured as streaks of light, and I was delighted that the Cathedral was still lit up.
A Smoke Break in Athens
We were on our way to lunch when I spotted this gentleman sitting on a crate, chatting to a person in a newspaper kiosk.
Anchovy Symphony in Black and White
I’m not a huge fan of anchovies, but the way these fish were displayed caught my eye. The silvery fish created an almost hypnotic pattern across the vendor’s counter, their tiny bodies catching the harsh market lights in a way that demanded to be photographed.
A Moment’s Pause in Málaga
Sometimes you have to stop and let humanity go past when there are too many people around.
The Daily Commuter
While waiting for the train in Athens, I spotted a pigeon walking around the station, calm as you can imagine, as if he owned the place. A few minutes later, a train rolled in, passengers started moving, and the pigeon flew into the rafters. Observing all that he rules.
The Cat in the big smoke
There’s something delightfully peculiar about finding a cat on a lead. I spotted these two characters taking a break near Camden Town in London. The scene just screamed to be photographed. The smoke caught in the sunlight and the cat’s nonchalant pose, how could I resist? It’s a candid shot, of course, and as the…
Parking Bay Oops
Looks like someone wasn’t that careful parking here. The poor parking sign is doing an imitation of the Leaning Tower of Pisa! Happy new year to you, dear reader. I’ve been posting photos here for twenty years this year. My first image, this yellow flower, is only 700px wide, but with the advent of high-resolution…
A visit to the Acropolis of Athens
If you visit the Acropolis in Athens, be prepared to join the crowds of other tourists visiting at the same time. There’s an insatiable interest in the area, of course, because it’s so well known. First you walk up the side of the Acropolis hill, and enjoy nice views of the city, including the Odeon…
Edinburgh’s Feathered Monuments
There’s something magical about Edinburgh during the golden hour, when the sun begins its descent and bathes the city in warm amber hues. I was walking along Princes Street with my colleagues after a long day of meetings when this scene stopped me in my tracks. At first glance, it might seem like just another…
Keem Beach in the Sun
The lovely Keem Beach on Achill Island, photographed in 2019. It’s a beautiful part of Ireland that I would love to visit again some day.
