From Dropping – a series of high speed photographs by Italian artist and graphic designer Alberto Serveso.
Each shot was achieved by capturing the impact of mixtures of coloured ink dropped into a container of clear oil, then flipping the image upside down.

An oil-laundering plant discovered by revenue officials on Friday in an industrial estate in the Ballycoolin area of Blanchardstown.
The ‘factory’ apparently had a capacity to launder over 2.5 million litres of fuel and is the first such find in Dublin.
According to Revenue the plant used the “relatively unsophisticated method of fuel laundering which involves filtering the fuel through cat litter”.

Dublin Bay Concern is a group of local people who wish to voice their concern over the application by Providence Resources to drill for oil 6kms from our shore in Dublin Bay.
A fairly slick video.
Slick.
Never mind
For the first time.
All the known prospects and discoveries in Irish territory, with tables listing the relevant exploration companies’ own estimates for how much oil and gas these licensed areas contain.
From Dublin Shell to Sea:
Oil and gas under the areas of Ireland’s seabed already licensed to private companies is worth more than €1,600 billion (€1.6 trillion), according to the companies’ own estimates.
This research reveals the true extent of exploration in our waters. The total of the estimates issued by exploration companies for their licensed areas in Irish territory is 20,964 million (i.e. almost 21 billion) barrels of oil equivalent and belies the oil industry’s repeated claims that Ireland’s offshore is an “unproven territory” with scant exploration taking place.
