Waiting for a passenger

A man sitting in the back of an open tricycle, waiting for passengers. He appears to be relaxing and enjoying his time as he looks at his phone while seated.

A rickshaw tuktuk driver waits for his next passenger and looks at his phone to pass the time. It’s a sunny day in Malaga, and he’s taking advantage of a momentary lull in business to catch up on social media.

A bridge over reflections

Early one morning in Valencia, before the sun rose, I travelled to the Museu de les Ciències Príncipe Felipe to photograph the area.

Pictured above is the CaixaForum next door, with the graceful arch of the Pont l’Assut de l’Or bridge in front of it. They are reflected in the waters surrounding the science museum. The sun is just about to peek over the horizon, but some high-level clouds helped light the scene in lovely purples.

Technically, this is a vertical panorama and I wish I had more space as the converging lines of my perspective can be seen in the leaning buildings to the left. Maybe I should have removed them?

Walking by the stall

Late one evening in Valencia I went walking with my son and, of course, I took my camera with me. He loved walking around the city. It was warm, and full of people living their lives. I noticed a man walking by himself near this stall, but he wasn’t much more than a silhouette in the darkness.

The dolphins of L’Oceanogràfic Valencia

A dolphin jumps out of the water with a blue ball in it's mouth.

We visited the aquarium in Valencia while on a trip there, like most tourists do. It was a remarkable experience, even if I felt sad that a Beluga whale had what must be a small tank for such a large creature.

The dolphin show was a sight to see. Commentary was in Spanish, so I couldn’t follow it, but the dolphins there seemed happy, and bonded well with their trainers.

Wait For Green

A person in white pants and runners walks across a street at a pedestrian lights. The white painted bars on the street are visible along with the words "Espere Verde". Another person has already crossed the street and their legs are seen departing the scene

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.

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!
