Plaid Hat Diplomacy in Valencia

A hand raised in greeting, with a smiling face, or is it a hand raised in anger?

Luckily, it was the former, with the smiling face of a friendly man just out of the shot greeting his friend in the plaid hat.

A Slice of Life in Bantry

We visited Bantry recently, on Valentines Day, and the town was buzzing. The square was taken over by the market, which is always worth a wander around. As we ate our burritos, I spotted the sun hitting the street nearby, leaving one side in shadow, and also illuminating the countryside rising up out of the background.

It’s a busy scene, and the van in the foreground is distracting, but that’s life. Everything’s messy, and then we went for coffee and scones in the community café. Yum. 🙂
