A silhouette in the shadows
Walking out of a metro station in Athens, Greece.
Up the steps
A person climbs the stairs of a car park in Figueres, right next to the Dalí Theatre and Museum, if memory serves. A beautiful building surrounded by brutal modern structures for modern car life.
A cat on a car roof
A tabby cat on a car roof, down a narrow street in Athens. He watched us carefully as we walked past, but he’s obviously used to people and didn’t budge at all, even as a stopped and took a few photos of him.
Laughing and chatting
Two women enjoying a chat while seated on a bench by a canal in Amsterdam. It was a lovely afternoon.
Reach for the skies
Figueres, in Catalonia, Spain is where Salvador Dali was born in 1904. You’ll find the Dalí Theatre and Museum in the town and some of his statues scattered around the place. Here’s one that’s fairly close to the museum. It’s quite a surreal piece, and it was quite a sight to see it out in…
Queuing for the train
The metro station at Monastiraki Square in Athens, Greece, is rarely quiet, and we arrived just as people were getting on the train.
That’s a steep hill
The Old Youghal Road takes a steep dive right next to Bell’s Field, but there’s a lovely view. No wonder he stopped for a moment to admire the view on a sunny evening a few years ago.
Enjoy the sun in Schull
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. 🙂
