A bilingual "Ceantar Tosaíochta Coisithe / PEDESTRIAN PRIORITY ZONE" sign with bicycle and pedestrian symbol is visible on the left. Green and white light trails from a passing bus streak through the frame. The illuminated Cork Christmas ferris wheel and decorated Christmas trees are visible in the background near Bishop Lucey Park. One photographer stands alone on the left while a group of four cluster together on the right.

Behind it, photographers with tripods are visible as slightly blurred figures, with a woman in a red puffer coat prominent among them. White bus light trails streak across the scene. The Cork Christmas ferris wheel is illuminated in the background, and Christmas tree lights are visible. The wet pavement reflects the city lights.
Long exposure night photograph of a black bicycle-shaped bike rack silhouetted against the lights of Grand Parade, Cork in December 2025. A Bus Éireann bus passes behind, creating horizontal red, cream and yellow light trails that reveal its livery through motion blur. The Cork Christmas ferris wheel is visible in the background. A blue pedestrian zone sign is partially visible on the left, and Christmas lights decorate buildings in the distance. Street lights create starburst effects in the dark sky.

You’re not waiting for a bus and suddenly four busses come along! We had fun with some long exposure photography on. Thursday night.
