When the City Blurs By
Panning photos is a nice way to burn through some photos and sometimes a photo or two will look half decent. It’s very hit-and-miss. You have to start panning your camera with the car and then hit the shutter while panning, hoping that you’re staying on your subject. A fun little exercise. 🙂 These images…
Cape Clear’s Car Graveyard
What happens to old cars is one of the harsh realities of island life that doesn’t make it into the tourist brochures. Getting a dead vehicle off Cape Clear isn’t as simple as calling a scrap dealer as everything has to go by ferry, which makes the economics of removal pretty grim for islanders already…
A Renault 4 at the Panathenaic Stadium
Cars weren’t going anywhere fast in front of the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens, Greece, the day we visited. A traffic jam extended far off in every direction. An old Renault 4 caught my eye. An anarchism among all the modern cars around. In a city like Athens, where the ancient past seamlessly coexists with the…
Long shadows at sunset
Lovely golden light casts long shadows on a street in Lisbon.
A VW bus at the Arc de Triomphe
We had just come out of the metro with our suitcases from the airport when I saw this VW bus, or as I’ve just found out, a Volkswagen Type 2, pulled over to the side of the road on the busy roundabout at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. It was a lovely August day…
Red and Blue and a Bike

The cars of Inch Beach
Just some of the vehicles parked on Inch Beach the other day. Adventurous folk!
Don’t walk, cycle, take a taxi
You can’t walk, you better cycle or take a taxi.
Cars dumped in a field
Near the Inniscarra Dam on the River Lee I went walking one afternoon in March 2005. Apart from the gorgeous scenery and the rolling hills and lovely fluffy clouds of a bright day I spotted two cars dumped in a field. The Ford Escort license plate was “70 NZB” but I couldn’t see the other…
Snow and Rain in Wilton
The view from my car on a wet, snowy morning outside Wilton Shopping Centre a few days ago. The snow didn’t settle thankfully but it was cold!
A Pink Cadillac in Blarney
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! The owner of this pink Cadillac took part in the Blarney parade in 2016! No parade this year. The village was very quiet this evening when I went for a walk there.
Car Ferry
On the ferry to Wales.
