Car bits in the water
Bits of a car that lay abandoned and burned out in Inniscarra next to the river.
Eddie Rocket’s
Eddie Rocket’s in Blackpool, Cork. I haven’t eaten here. The last time I did was in Galway at a Linux thing, probably in the late 90’s when all I remember was that it was overpriced. Still the same?
Sorry, No Vacancies
A small sign in the window of a small B&B in Kinsale a few weeks ago. Business must be good, despite the downturn.
McCarthy’s Bar
Pete McCarthy wrote a great book called, McCarthy’s Bar: A Journey of Discovery In Ireland which I and my wife have both read through and enjoyed immensely. Unfortunately Pete died in 2004 after being diagnosed with cancer but this book and his second are well worth reading. I just noticed the discrepancy between the spelling…

Tour of Ireland blur past
Not the best image I’ll admit, but to the naked eye these guys were just a blur they were going to fast. I think this was shot while I was quickly zooming out after shooting them coming down the road.
Tour of Ireland Riders in Blarney
Tour of Ireland riders race through the main street in Blarney at speed. It seems like everyone came out to cheer them on! Will sent me a text this morning saying the legal requirements for a charity event are too much for the planned Pink for October on the 20th of September, but he wondered…
