Clancy’s Youghal
Clancy’s Bar and Restaurant in Youghal has apparently been closed for quite some time. I never knew the place but my wife was surprised and disappointed to see the For Sale signs outside.
I didn’t even notice the people walking along the road until I looked at the photo on my monitor!

Toilets for the Aliens

De Lorean DMC-12
De Lorean, the 80’s Belfast car manufacturer became a household name after their car’s appearance in Back to the Future. The name is instantly recognisable to a whole generation of people. Unfortunately the De Lorean company had already folded before those films were released.
The car above is the De Lorean DMC-12, the only model the company built. It stopped in front of us while we were having a picnic and I heard a woman across the road saying, “That’s the Back to the Future car!”
Lots more to be found on the Wikipedia page on the car.
Shot in Timoleague, Co Cork about a week ago.
PS. new theme. I missed my sidebar!

Flowers on North Mall
The North Mall next to the River Lee in Cork is decorated with beautiful flowers dotted along it’s length. I had to take a few shots of them as I walked back to my car after the Paddy’s Day Parade this year.
Note the Franciscan Well in the background. Nice pub!
