The month of Ramadan has started today for Muslims around the world. We fast from sunrise to sunset. I pray that we can make the most of these special days and that this month is a beneficial one for us all. I especially pray that people that are in hardship find ease in these difficult times, and that we can all look after one another and be generous in giving whatever we can. Ramadan Mubarak.
I took a short trip to Lisbon, the capital of Portugal very recently. Lisbon has the oldest bookshop in the world and is known for being quite hilly and also near the coast. I spent several days there and whilst it was a bit rainy it was still a really nice city to visit. Here are a few snaps, but my favourorite thing was seeing all the tiles on the buildings of various colours and styles.
Today is the last year of 2025. There’s been highs and lows and sadly still too many wars being waged in this world. I pray that next year these come to an end and that people find peace and justice. Here are my favourite photos of 2025. May 2026 be a better one for us all. Happy New Year.
I love the sunny, calm Autumn days that we can get. The crisp air and the blue sky really awaken the senses and make a walk in the park quite wonderful.
Who doesn’t love an umbrella street? This one in Camden town market certainly brightens up the place and perfect for upcoming wet Autumn days.
I love the changing shades of autumn, the reds, oranges and yellows, the colours of fire but without the heat. The ArcelorMittal Orbit in the bright sunlight fits right in with it red exterior.
This summer my local town celebrated colour and so they invited talented street artists to come and do some artwork for the public to enjoy. These were my favourite ones and I think the artists did a great job.
I love this fiery looking sunflower, not sure I’ve seen these reddish colour petals before, and it seems that I’m not the only one that loves it, the bee in the middle is in his element.
Some street art has been commissioned by the local government to brighten up our streets. It was great to see the artwork coming into shape and the end results I think are brilliant. The artists are very talented and I will enjoy looking at their pieces when I pass them by.
We’ve come to the end of 2024. It has been an eventful year for me personally and on the world stage. I was lucky enough to travel to lots of different countries as well as spend time with family and friends and doing my part in calling for peace and justice in the world.
Wars also still continue, in Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan and other parts of the world. They have taken a toll on me and many others and I pray that an end to these come swiftly and permanently.
Here are some of my best and favourite photos of this year, as I prepare for the next. Happy New Year to everyone and may it be one that is calmer, more peaceful and positive one for us all, with plenty of adventure.
