Castle Gate, Derry
This picture was taken during a walking tour of Derry. Given their hats and poses, I suspect I may be appropriating another photographer’s photoshoot – very convenient of them to set this shot up for me, however unconsciously!
We only got to spend one night in Derry, but it was a fascinating place. So much history, old and new, wrapped up in one city.
Poulnabrone Dolmen, Ireland
Poulnabrone Dolmen is a neolithic portal tomb in the Burren, Ireland. The remains of 6 children and up to 22 adults were found buried beneath the tomb.
This picture was taken between waves of tourists. And they did come in waves – a bus would arrive, they would pour out, circle round the tomb, and then recede back into the bus. 5 minutes later, the next bus would arrive, but for the few minutes in between, we had the place to ourselves.
'Excuse me Ma'am, but you seem to have a busker sitting on your head.' Covent Garden, London
Another one from my ongoing series of pictures of Covent Garden buskers. Have I mentioned recently how much I love photographing these guys?
Looking down, Mont St Michel
Mont St Michel is a tidal island off the coast of Normandy, France. The abbey which gives the island its name is magnificent, and well worth a visit, but the view down to the surrounding tidal flats has its own austere beauty.
Stikman has a narrow escape, Washington D.C.
In honour of this blog’s 100th post, I thought I should put up the third and final of my stikman pictures, the alien-robot-man who haunts the the crosswalks of Washington D.C.
I also wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for reading Journey Photographic – may there be many more posts for you to enjoy in the future!
