Market Work in Malaga
The Mercado Central de Atarazanas in Malaga is really busy but on the day I visited in 2019 it was surprisingly quiet. The people working there were busy as ever though, and this man walked past me quickly, and out of sight around a corner in a moment! I often wonder what has become of…
Santiago Calatrava’s Sunrise Masterpiece
The Pont de l’Assut de l’Or in Valencia, near the City of Science and Art is a striking piece of architecture, so when this sunrise turned purple just before the sun rose over the horizon I had to make sure to get a photo of this stunning bridge. The Pont de l’Assut de l’Or was…

Red Trousers on the Metro Steps
It was early in the morning on a lovely day in Madrid, Spain. I went out for an early walk to capture the comings and goings of the local population and chanced upon this woman coming out of the metro. She probably made this journey hundreds of times. Hopefully, she’s still in Madrid.
