A horse-drawn carriage in Chicago
Twenty years ago on the streets of Chicago I saw a carriage being pulled by a horse and a bored driver.
Today I learned while looking up more information about these trips that Chicago banned horse drawn carriages in 2021. Prices seemed to range from $120/hour up past $500/hour.

On the steps of the Museo Nacional del Prado
I remember visiting the Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid and I loved it.
I visited Madrid in 2003 to stay with a good friend for a week. Back then, we only had rubbish 1mp cameras on our phones, if they had cameras at all. I had my Sony F717 with me and with a unique swivel body, 5MP sensor and 5X optical zoom I loved that camera.
Twenty years later and this photo is seeing the light of day. I love how ordinary this photo is. I wonder if that couple in the background is still together. Is the woman with the handbag still living in Madrid?

A LEGO shop opened on Grafton Street, Dublin, this year. I saw queues outside it as kids and harassed parents waited to get in.

Chugging away at Christmas Time
At the SHARE crib on St. Patrick’s Street, Cork earlier this month. Street fundraisers for SHARE were everywhere again this month, and even had tap-and-pay machines to pay by credit card or phone.

Lights along the Lee
Lights along the River Lee a couple of weeks ago when I joined Henry and Vivien for some photography. Henry got a fabulous shot of the wheel.
I’ll be posting some more shots of this over the next few days.
