Rushing to buy fuel

A long exposure shot of the Texaco petrol station in Dingle. I zoomed in (or out, I don't recall) while taking the photo so the lights of the signs appear to jump out. Visible are the prices, €2.05 for a litre of petrol or diesel.

August 2022 when fuel prices in Ireland were sky high, and they’re likely to go in that direction again. In that month, a litre of petrol or diesel was €2.059.

The price per litre has since dropped to €1.618, or at least it was at the end of April when I purchased petrol last.

Anyway, this is the Texaco petrol station in Dingle, Co Kerry, late one evening, early in the month. I’d just been for a walk around the town to take photos and this was one of the last of the night I took. I’m quite happy with how it worked out too. 🙂

All wrapped up

Petrol pumps sit idle at the same derelict station I shot this flo gas photo.

One of my photos will be auctioned off today as part of Bid For Haiti in the Metropole Hotel in Cork. Paul O’Mahony is organising it but my brother Donal is helping to get prints together.
