  1. Celtic Tiger Cranes and the Elysian Rising

    Cork City during the height of the Celtic Tiger era, captured in 2007 when Ireland’s construction boom was at its peak and the city skyline was dominated by cranes building new office blocks and apartments, including the Elysian Tower.

    It would all come crashing down financially within a year. Some apartments in the Elysian were vacant for years.

  2. Cork Before The Elysian

    Remember Cork before The Elysian was built? It's almost 20 years old now, so there are many people around who never saw Cork City Hall like this, without the tower block behind it.

  4. Cork Before The Elysian

    Remember Cork before The Elysian was built? It’s almost 20 years old now, so there are many people around who never saw Cork City Hall like this, without the tower block behind it.

    Cork City Hall, completed in 1936, was built to replace the previous City Hall that was destroyed during the Burning of Cork by British forces in 1920. The building’s limestone facade and copper dome make it one of Cork’s most recognisable landmarks. This 2005 photograph predates the construction of The Elysian apartment tower, which began in 2006 and became Ireland’s tallest residential building when completed in 2008. The development of The Elysian and surrounding high-rise buildings fundamentally altered the skyline visible from this vantage point, making this image a valuable historical record of Cork’s urban landscape before its dramatic transformation during the Celtic Tiger era.

  5. - Tumblr: Post your artwork under the “#elysian eclipse contest” tag with a short description. You can also @ me in the post.

  6. It's not all the way to sweet, and it has the requisite bitterness from the hops, but the fruits merge together seamlessly and with intention.

  7. I remember '96. Honestly, I wish it was a little hazier in my head. But the music was pretty good

  8. Albert Quay in ye olde times

    Before the glossy, glass faced building of One Albert Quay, a warehouse and other old, industrial buildings occupied that site. This is what it looked like in 2009. I would guess they were originally part of the train station that sat at that location. The “FREE FIT EXHAUST CENTRE” would have been a familiar sign to anyone who lived in the south side of the city and passed by that area.

    The Elysian can be seen in the background, but it was a brand-new building then, having only been completed early in 2008, the previous year!

  9. On a quiet October morning in 2016, I travelled into town as I saw there was fog forecast, and I wasn’t disappointed. While I was photographing the boats lined up along Kennedy Quay, a single rower came up the river.

    He quickly glided past my position along the river, but I grabbed a few photos, including R&H Hall, and a view of the Elysian that is somewhat blocked by further development over in that direction.

    When I go back there again some morning in eight years time to photograph the fog, I’m sure the quay will be unrecognisable.

  10. Das hier ist schon eher eine Lösung für den #Klimaschutz, auf die die Menschheit wartet:

    "Elektro-Flieger soll 800 Kilometer weit fliegen

    Das batteriebetriebene #Flugzeug #Elysian-E9X soll bis zu 90 Passagiere transportieren können und ab 2033 einsatzbereit sein. Dann soll es eine Strecke von 800 Kilometern absolvieren können."

  12. The dark, dark brown beer has a tan head that may actually leave a bit of lacing in its wake. As it recedes, it does not leave a partially naked top, and the thin layer of bubbles is a bit patchy in spots.

  13. I'll call the color a pumpkin orange, if that pumpkin has started to rot a bit. Possibly, if the pumpkin had cinnamon added to it, it would be less gross-sounding while remaining the same color.

  14. Sometimes the world seems like a #screenplay. One could #suspect it a good idea to act up, but there is no desire to participate.

    Shift of #priority. No need to project.

  15. CW: Beer

    Pumpkin stout in the #PretentiousGlassCo stout glass. With a nitro beer or particularly heady beer, the bubbles will collect on each layer. Not today, but I'll keep trying! #BeerTooter #Elysian
