A Dog on Watch

It was really nice on South Bank in London. The sun was shining and the crowds had yet to descend on the area we were walking along. That dog was on alert though, watching everyone walk by. ...

Rock, Glass and Concrete

We walked across this footbridge, passing over a busy road but what caught my eye was the apartment blocks looming ahead. ...

Orange Against the Blue

Alicante was still hot in late September, and the shade by the port didn’t reach far. A woman stepped out of it with her orange umbrella already up, tilting it against the sun as she walked. I could have done with an umbrella TBH. Local temperatures hit 30C, and we ducked in ...

Building Season in Blackrock

The sun went down behind Páirc Uí Chaoimh and turned the sky a deep orange. The construction cranes in the background are building massive apartment blocks that will change the face of the area once residents move in. A far cry from the dust coal yard of Suttons and Sheehan and ...

A Soft Sunset over Alicante

The sun had already gone down over the port at Alicante when I took this, leaving a band of orange over the cranes that faded into clear blue. There were no clouds to catch the light of the sun that had already fallen below the horizon, but I was glad of the glow on the […]

A Ring of Shade

Above the promenade at El Postiguet in Alicante is a walkway to the town where you can find a neat place to photograph passing people against the cubed background. Those ground tiles remind me of Q*bert or Marble Madness which I’ve only seen but never played. What I did play wa ...

I ♡ Alicante

I stayed on the roof after the sun set. There wasn’t much cloud in the sky, but a haze on the horizon caught the glow of the disappeared sun and lit up the edge of that expanse. Soon after, a neon sign lit up on the roof of a building opposite declaring its love f ...

Lines on Lines

The sun was high in Alicante, but the tall buildings and narrow streets cast deep shadows I took advantage of. The horizontal lines of this primary school had to be black and white. I looked it up on Google Maps and found it here, but if you look at Street View, the only images are […… ...

Everyone’s a Photographer in Óbidos

Óbidos in September was full of day-trippers, and most of them were taking photos of the same narrow street. The street is filled with people and little shops and it’s very pretty. ...

In The Heat of the Day

It was very hot in Óbidos, and this couple had settled against a low parapet with their dog stretched out on the paving beside them. I would have gone looking for shade. I only noticed later that the woman was wearing a denim jacket! I love the negative space of ground, wa ...

The Óbidos Cat

Óbidos has a castle and a full circuit of medieval walls, but plenty of people were stopping for the cat instead. He lay on his back on the cobbles in the middle of the street, happy with a rub behind the ears and a few words from anyone who bent down. With that coat, he’s […]< ...

A Ledge in the Sun

A moment after yesterday’s photo of Óbidos I spotted a man taking a break in the sun. There were a lot of people about so I don’t blame him for wanting to take a moment to sit down. ...

A Pencil Box in the Gallery

Alpino is a Spanish brand of school colouring pencils, and here the box had been blown up to the size of a door and hung in the MACA’s temporary exhibition on colour. I really enjoyed visiting the Contemporary Art Museum of Alicante, and not just because it was 30C ...

Blue and Green in Óbidos

The white wall with its thick blue trim caught my eye in Óbidos. I love that blue colour. I love to see matching colours too, so I was delighted to see matching green, and then the man in the blue polo shirt. Matchy-matchy! ...

Northern Lights Over North Cork

Iron Bones

I nearly walked straight past it. You’re on the South Bank, dodging cyclists, and there’s this railway bridge overhead that most people treat as a ceiling to hurry under. But look up and the underside of Blackfriars Railway Bridge is a riot of riveted iron gir...

Clogher in Full Voice

The Atlantic was absolutely hammering Clogher Beach when I got down there a few weeks ago. A proper winter swell rolling in through the gap between the headlands, each wave stacking up and throwing that incredible translucent green you only get when th...

Low Cloud Over Dingle

Low clouds lay over Dingle town on Friday evening but while it wasn’t the most exciting light, it had a lovely even light without deep shadows. It was a quiet evening with only a few people out walking their dogs and even a couple of tourists!...

K67: A Relic of Slovenian Design in London

It’s impossible to miss this kiosk. A bright yellow box parked outside Spitalfields Market, looking like it had been teleported in from a 1960s sci-fi film set. This is a K67 kiosk. It’s a modular street unit designed by Slovenian a...

Trenchangle: Tower Defense on the C64

I picked up Issue 31 of Zzap! 64 yesterday evening and had a quick look at the covermount disk. There’s a few really good-looking games there but one that caught my eye was Trenchangle, a tower defense game! I’m a sucker for the genre, but it took me several tries to even finish level one.Continue reading
