Recently in Schull, when the sun was out and the whole world was bright and cheerful. The harbour was full of boats and people were enjoying the day.

Not Sleeping in Ardmore
I have an orange t-shirt, but it’s not this lovely bright orange. I love that it matches the orange of the building, and then I noticed afterwards that he’s wearing light blue shorts! It’s orange and blue all the way down!

Passenger Bikes
Motorbikes wait at the traffic lights at the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens. Bikes were popular in the city, with riders weaving in and out of slow-moving four wheeled traffic.

The seaweed bicycle
I spotted a bike for hire that must have been dumped in the river for quite some time before being returned to the lock area. It was underwater so long that seaweed grew on it and tiny seashells grew on the pedal!
I presume it’ll be picked up, and hopefully cleaned up or recycled.

At the Olympics
The Panathenaic Stadium was not very crowded when we visited, but I immediately noticed a small group of young people taking photos of each other and added them to a photo of my own. 🙂

Precious Things
Sometimes you’re just minding the precious things in life, like a handbag for someone special.

Excited for a walk
A woman walks her dog on a street in Amsterdam. The little doggy is so excited. 🙂

Dressed for a party
When I walked past this little dog and snapped a photo of him with my phone, I didn’t realise I was photographing a celebrity dog.
Thanks to Google Images, I found out the dog is Ali the Rasta Dog on Instagram. I’m not a fan of dressing dogs up in clothes, unless it’s cold out, but it’s obvious Donald, his owner, loves Ali and takes great care of him.
Some links about Donald and Ali:
His new little furry friend has made all the difference, he says. He calls him Ali the “Rasta pup.” Donald says his newfound faith in God has also helped relieve his anger and he says he now has a reason to live, and a friend to share that life with.

The Ginger Guardian needs a rest
Being a guardian of the alley is tiring work and when they can, the guardians take a break. The lovely ginger cat I photographed in yesterday’s post jumped into this flower bed/shrubbery to rest and didn’t object when I took his photo.

Guardians of the Alley
Two cats protect a narrow street in Athens, Greece. Tourists were milling around, talking loudly, enjoying their food and drink on a warm afternoon. Cars drove past nearby, but the cats didn’t move until a delivery man drove up on the pavement. Even then, they didn’t go far. The ginger fellow lay down to sleep nearby!

A Renault 4 at the Panathenaic Stadium
Cars weren’t going anywhere fast in front of the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens, Greece, the day we visited. A traffic jam extended far off in every direction.
An old Renault 4 caught my eye. An anarchism among all the modern cars around. In a city like Athens, where the ancient past seamlessly coexists with the present, the Renault 4 seemed oddly fitting.
