A weathered door and brass lock on a side street in the Albaicín, Grenada, Spain.

Dappled old wooden door in a back street in Moorish Granada.

There’s nothing more Spanish than flamenco dancing, and there’s nothing more American than Coca-Cola signs. I might have expected to see the two together in Mexico, but not in Spain.

Cobblestone steps on the Carril de San Agustin in the Albaicín, Granada.

Silver and glass tea set for sale in one of the shops along the Plaza Santa Ana in Granada.

The face of a crying man – urban graffiti from Granada in Spain.

View looking south from the Calle de San Nicolas by the Iglesia de San Nicholas in the Albaycin of Granada. This is the usual viewing point for the Alhambra – it’s one of the few places in Granada where you can get high enough to get a decent perspective across the small valley at the northern foot of the Alhambra.

Visitor note: buy your tickets in advance – don’t go on the day and hope tickets will be available. Hope is not a good strategy.

Dusk at Zaanse Schans, the world heritage site just outside Amsterdam. 30 seconds at f11 at 24mm for the exif peepers.

Portrait of a squirrel monkey at the Edinburgh Zoo. While the Living Links monkey house has lots of space and lots of ropes/branches and food, there were lots of bored looking monkeys too. Mind you, if you locked a bunch of humans up they’d look bored too.

Black and white photo of a spray painted stencil of young boy’s head on Bristo Place, just down from the much missed Forest Cafe, Edinburgh. Did you notice the man in the doorway…?
