A peculiar scene in a West Cork town has caught many people's attention after it was flipped over and left.
Surprisingly though, there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for the odd sight.
Those who have been in the Skibb area may have been questioning why the motor had been abandoned. Well, we have the answer.

The car, which appears to have been involved in some kind of crash, is, in fact, a 'sculpture'.
The striking scene is Micheál O'Connell's work, who has brought an exhibition to Uillinn West Cork Arts Centre, reports Cork Beo.
Micheal's 'System Interference' show uses a lot of technology and heavier types of machinery, according to the centre.
The artist was awarded one of the prestigious Arts Council Commissions awards to produce new work, which will be on show at the centre until October 26th.
Michael had kept a residency over the summer to prepare for the solo exhibit. From there, he'll be taking it on tour to the Wexford Arts Centre and Highlands Gallery in Drogheda in 2023. According to Uillinn, O'Connell's together a lot of "substantial" sculptures for the exhibit.
They said: "To mark the opening of System Interference at Uillinn, writer and researcher Caroline Bassett and artist Micheál O'Connell will present Stupidity, Dissent and the Machine, a gallery conversation at 2.00pm.
"Micheál O'Connell, a.k.a. Mocksim, was awarded one of The Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon's prestigious Commissions Awards to produce new work for this exhibition.
"His practice involves 'interference' with everyday functional processes and technologies including the computational network, but also the heavier and traditional machineries. In keeping with the approach, during a series of residencies at Uillinn, he has been looking unorthodoxly at the ways in which landscape is used.
"The exhibition is mainly a mashup of three elements relating to aspects of this use: the increasing presence of wind farms, the road system with its traffic flows which have crept up over a century, as well as observations on golf and the unusual sport of road bowling (played almost exclusively in counties Cork and Armagh).
"Substantial sculptural pieces include an arrangement of the typical pipes used for sewerage, electricity, water etc. which are embedded underneath roads, large inflatable wind turbine models and a toy wind farm with golf balls distributed about the battery powered turbines."
