I was able to stand on a traffic island in High Street and wait for these buses to pass.

The difficulty is capturing surprise on film
The title is a quote from F. Murray Abraham.
This image is from a Women Demand Better protest rally in Belfast on 29 October. Everyone seemed in good spirits although it was one of those miserable rain all day days with rain interspersed with periods of light drizzle. The days you don’t realise how wet you got until you get back to the car or go in for a cup of coffee and find you’re sitting in a pool of water.
Cathedral Quarter
Exchange Court, Cathedral Quarter.
Under the archway you can see Donegall Street and if you were to turn right you would come to St Anne’s Cathedral and Writers’ Square in a couple of hundred yards.
Serious Coffee
Some people take their coffee very seriously.
McLaren reflections
A couple of weeks ago I came across this McLaren parked under some trees at Lagan House. It’s an impressive car.
Viewers will quickly note the reflections, primarily on the windscreen, but also on the bonnet. A polariser filter would have prevented most of these reflections and I always have one with me but this time when I reached into my bag I couldn’t find it. I had been using another bag over the previous few days and assumed I had forgotten to transfer the filter over so I took the picture and moved on. I later found I had transferred the filter over and it had been hiding under a divider in the bag. Not finding it left me more annoyed than when I thought I had forgotten it.
Boat To Let
The Boat Building, Queen’s Square, Belfast. The building is 14 storeys tall, 10 floors of grade ‘A’ offices with 8 luxury apartments above. It’s a striking building.
Samson and Goliath
The two Harland and Wolff Shipyard cranes that tower over the city.
This image was taken some years ago. The red brick wall is no longer there and the railings have been replaced by a wire fence.
Festival of Fools
A celebration of street entertainment over the Mayday holiday weekend. The festival is the largest comedy and street theatre festival in the country, taking place mostly in Cathedral Quarter but also throughout the city.
It was a dull wet day and I have desaturated some of the colours to add atmosphere.
