The weir in Ballincollig Regional Park collapsed in 2014, but this photo was taken many years before that, in 2003. Repairs to the weird have been delayed over and over again, unfortunately.
Remember when people thought the rain in late July and August 2023 was bad? What about Storm Isha yesterday, eh? Another storm on the way too. The start of June was blisteringly hot. It was so hot I preferred to stay inside out of it. Nobody seems to remember that. Oh, the photo above is…
Ian Bailey, the man accused of murdering a French woman, Sophie Toscan du Plantier, died today. Here he is in 2019, when he was selling his book, “The West Cork Way”, at a market in Skibereen.

A cyclist on the Marina in Cork reads a sign showing some of the improvements to be expected as work progresses on improving that road and the surrounding.
A few of us visited the National Space Centre in Elfordstown in Co. Cork the other night to make some photos, and maybe photograph the Aurora if possible. No sign of the aurora, but the Space Center is a sight to see itself. Thanks Henry, for organising the trip! Check out his amazing photo of…
