A thirsty dog at the beach

A woman lets her dog drink water from the showers at a sandy beach while a boy, barely in shot, lets water run down his face nearby. A sign in the background says "NO DOGS 9AM - 5PM" and another says, "EMERGENCY LANE NO PARKING". A young man walks across the sand with her shoes in his hand, while a couple far off in the distance part of the background of a beach. Houses look onto the beach.

It’s thirsty work playing on a beach when you’re a dog. You need water to quench your thirst after chasing a ball all afternoon.

There weren’t too many dogs at the beach, but I was surprised to see them. This was also the only place on our trip to the US that we saw dog excrement on the ground, nestled in the sand at the shoreline. It’s great to play or walk with your dog on a beach, but there’s a responsibility to clean up after them too.

Beautiful beach too, looking out on the Pacific, an oil platform and Anacapa Island in the distance.

A bride in Santa Barbara

A photographer takes a photo of a bride in a corridor while her new husband looks on, and some tourists in the background film with a smartphone. A man is walking into the frame from the back.

In and around the Court House in Santa Barbara, there were a number of wedding groups having their photos taken. This is one recently married couple I spotted in the corridor outside the main Court House. A lovely setting for photos.

I wonder if that couple in the background knew them, or were they just curious tourists like me?

A reflection in Pennys

A woman wearing a black and white patterned jacket leans against the window of a clothes shop. Other people walk in and a male head can just be seen over her shoulder.

The black and white pattern of this jacket caught my eye and gave me the idea of shooting a reflection here.

A cry for help

A woman walks past an Eircom phone box vandalised by graffiti and displaying pro-Gaza stickers.

These Eircom phone boxes are soon going to be a thing of the past as they are being removed, but this one had two large stickers against the war in Gaza that caught my eye.

Another tourist in Malaga

A tourist looks up at something unseen out of frame in Malaga, Spain.

Malaga has a huge tourist industry and is great for street photography. I think I’ve posted at least five images over the years from this very street, and have a couple more to go, too!

Waiting on Henry Street

Two men lean against a pole. One checks his phone, while the other one looks off in the distance.

There are many ways of waiting on a busy shopping street.

Friends hanging around

A group of young people sitting on a window sill down a side street. A woman and two men. They each have phones and the man on the right is speaking to someone outside the frame.

The remains of the shop

A woman walks past the front entrance of the old Roches Stores, or later Debenhams, but now a derelict building in the heart of the city. The building is surrounded by hoarding.

All that remains of Debenhams is the faded imprint of the sign on the front of its previous location on St. Patrick’s Street, Cork.

Reflections in the pond

Houses, trees, sky and street furniture are reflected in a pond in Lisbon.

Near the Igreja Paroquial da Graça in Lisbon, I found a small pond that had a lovely reflection.

The Chicago Board of Trade

The famous Chicago Board of Trade building as soon from La Salle, framed by the leaves of a branch and some flowers

In 2003, there wasn’t much vegetation to see on La Salle Street, but I found it at N 120 La Salle N Street according to Google Maps. The most recent photos on Google Maps show the red flowers are long gone.

You’ve probably seen the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) building in movies, such as Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Batman Begins, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, and The Dark Knight.

Young man walking

A woman holding her dog on the lead. He's sitting on the ground of a pedestrian bridge. The river visible in the background. A man walks past, looking directly at me.

Others are enjoying the setting sun, while this man walking past looked directly at me just as I clicked the shutter.

At the Jeweller

A woman and her two kids, with a man nearby, presumably her partner, look in the window of a jeweller's as someone inside picks out something.

She’s picking out something she likes.
