I was looking out the window, about to take a photo when I spotted a man carrying a suitcase. He’d probably just arrived, but he’d missed breakfast. Pretty decent breakfast too.

A young woman walked past me carrying her dog. I had to get a photo. Bonus points for the lady in the poster watching me. 🙂

We visited the lighthouse at Faro de Tostón just before sunset. Lots of low cloud threatened to hide the sunset but fortunately a gap was left just above the horizon so we got a lovely glow and even after-sunset luminescence that provided some interesting silhouettes in the sky. This shot came about just before I…

Early one morning outside the salt museum in Fuerteventura as the sun shone on nearby homes and a caravan parked next to the 30kph speed limit sign.

The mounted fin whale skeleton is clearly visible in a photo of the museo de la sal (salt museum) in Fuerteventura. The museum was closed at this early hour and the area was roped off with stern warnings to buy tickets at the museum, but we still managed to get a few photos. The salt…

Sunrise at this time of year is rather easy as it’s at a reasonable time. Not too early, and not too late either. When the sky turns golden I pick up my camera!

Other birds wanted crumbs of…

I haven’t been back to Canada in many years but 2009 was my first visit there and we stayed near Quebec and took a tour of the city on a wet and cloudy autumn day.

At the end of a day of street photography we took the train back to Liverpool Street Station from Oxford Circus. That of course calls for the obligatory long exposure shot of the train coming into the station.

Last October when Blarney Photography Club visited Killarney to photograph the rutting season this year, we took a break from the deer and some of us went to O’Sullivan’s Cascade. This is the Lakes of Killarney as seen from where that waterfall flows into the lake. It was a beautiful clear day. The sky might…

This was originally going to be a portrait shot of the Eiffel Tower but I quite like this one too, especially with the lovely colour of the sky in the background.
