Waiting in Colour

Off to the side of Monastiraki Square, near the train station entrance is a Flormar store, and I when I saw what you see above I had to get a photo.

If you go there now, you might see that man. He was attending to a local stall and stepped away for a moment.

The crowds of Monastiraki Square

Monastiraki Square in Athens is a busy area for tourists, right next to many of the ancient sites of the city. It’s a bustling area, full of interesting characters, both local and foreign, and a great place to visit for a street photographer!

An interesting building that caught my attention on the C. del Mar in Valencia. Just around the corner from the Placa de la Reina.

Everyday Life at the Market

A vendor in a market in Malaga places Strawberries out on display. It’s difficult to believe this was 2018. It seems like a lifetime away.

When you’re betting on the economy

The bookies will have a proper electronic board, not an inflexible board that looks like it was made for a child, when you know the tariffs odds will change.

The Blues Brothers in Action

The Cannonball Run brought a burst of excitement to the streets of Blarney back in 2018 despite the rain that day. It appears I only posted one photo from that day before. I must dig out more!

Next Stop: Shopping in Cork

Three women wait at the traffic lights on Grand Parade. They’ve all been shopping in NEXT.

It’s odd what Lightroom sometimes does to a photo when you correct for lens distortion. 🙂
