During a walk through Barcelona, my city, my little daughter and I visited the most famous market in Barcelona, El Mercat de la Boquería. There were a lot of people, most of them were tourists engrossed in the amount of fresh products and takeaway food. It is a beautiful modernist and neoclassical style building, inaugurated in 1940.

The vibrant atmosphere of Luna Park Sydney buzzed around me. Drawn to the thrilling section of the park, I found myself captivated by a particular ride. This contraption defied gravity, whirling riders, flying through the air, their legs flung wide. Intrigued, I captured a black and white image from below. The riders, silhouetted against the sky, let out joyous cries that echoed through the park. Their unrestrained expressions mirrored the exhilaration of the ride. While the experience undoubtedly offered a surge of adrenaline, I found a curious sense of serenity observing their uninhibited joy. Perhaps it was the raw display of human experience, or the comfort of knowing my own feet were planted firmly on the ground. Regardless, capturing this scene in black and white proved just as thrilling as any ride, a testament to the captivating energy found within Luna Park.

I was on my daily photo walk when I noticed fire engines and emergency vehicles up ahead. When I arrived at the site, there appeared to be nothing going on. Possibly the emergency passed. I did notice a legless man in a wheel chair sitting immobile on the corner, seemingly unfazed by all that was happening around him. I was able to make a a couple of photographs of him before he became aware of me.
