Isle of Man

The penultimate car delivered to the M.E.R, No.32 was built by the United Electric Car Company in Preston in 1906.

The end of a scorching summer’s day is marked by the sun slowly sinking below the horizon at Lhen Beach on the north west coast of the Isle of Man. I positioned my tripod just above the surface of the Lhen Trench as it flowed down to meet the sea. The low angle allowed the water to dominate the foreground of the shot which was necessary due to the cloudless sky above. I wanted to capture a simple minimalistic image which captured the warmth of the beautiful summer weather we have been enjoying 🌅

It was here that with Ken's help I got to see a gull chick for the first time - think a big ball of grey fluff with a beak and legs. We left them in peace. I got a reasonably good shot later in the holiday.

Cronk ny Merriu is an excellent example of a Manx promontory fort - Ken gave us an interesting talk about it, including how many people (and animals) that might have lived in the long house that was once there. There was already someone settled there and looking out to sea.

More seats than benches, but I suspect each seat is big enough for two!

The shape of the walk was a figure of and this section was repeated - as it was a very nice section of path it was rather nice to repeat.

The tree sized shrub is a fushia.
