Shell To Sea
The “Shell to Sea” stand in Bishop Lucey Park during the “Peace in the Park” event a few weeks ago.
Like a lot of people I’m sick and tired of the protests in Co Mayo against the pipeline Shell want to build to bring gas to an onshore facility. This story and photos of an exploded natural gas pipeline in Virginia, USA almost changed my mind. Then I realised there must be tens of thousands of natural gas pipelines and they very rarely blow up in such a spectacular fashion.
Still, does make me think twice about dismissing the protesters as a bunch of crazies.

A car lies wrecked, burned out and upside down on the beach near the cemetery in Iniscarra where I shot a few “infra red” photos back in 2004. Is this what faces the world when the oil runs out? Abandoned cars and other vehicles left to rot and ruin scenic areas?
I drove past a week ago and it’s still there. Awful eyesore. Maybe I should ring the County Council?
