Woof! A very good girl guarding a cafe in Amsterdam in 2011.

A protestor on the streets of San Francisco in July 2007. I wonder what that man thought of the Obama and Trump years? Edit: Alex posted a photo of the same man back in 2007 on his blog. That was a fun photowalk.

The rain in Portugal falls mainly on the umbrellas. Hopefully anyway.

Covid-19 precautions in a Dunnes Stores at the cash registers. Dealing with us, the public, is hard enough in normal times. In Covid times it must be absolutely awful.

Lebowskis on Marlboro Street in 2005. The Spyglass Tavern is now in this building I think if Google Maps is up to date. I wasn’t ever in Lebowskis and haven’t visited the Spyglass Tavern either. Edit: The Atlas Bar is in that building now, not the Spyglass Tavern.

O’Donovan’s Butchers on Princes Street is long gone but back in 2002 I took this photo on Christmas Eve of shoppers getting food for their dinner the next day. 19 years ago to the day.

On a very warm July afternoon in Bristol, back in 2017.

A lady with her canine friends on a bench in Windsor, in the UK. August 2012.
