Als deze toch eens wist dat 10 meter verder een visrestaurant was...
If this crab only knew there is a fish restaurant a few yards away...
Viaducts go over water, aquaducts take water over things, dunno what you call a structure that carries the pump across a valley...
Een dag later begon het beter en zou het nog veel beter worden. We maakten eerst een wandeling bij 'The Sound' aan de zuidwestkant van het eiland. De lichtomstandigheden waren niet je van het.
The next day started better and would become even better. We first visited 'The Sound' at the southwest side of the isle for a walk. Lightning conditions were not very favourable.

"The Path of Rushes - Another visible and symbolic tradition on Tynwald Day is the path strewn with rushes between the Tynwald Hill and the church. This custom harks back to the practice of presenting rushes to Manannan, the ancient sea god believed to be the Island's first ruler. On the eve of Midsummer 5th July (by the old calendar), a member from each household would take rushes up South Barrule, offering them as the annual rent to Manannan for the privilege of living on his land."
We were there a couple of days too early to see the rushes.
This is not photoshopped. The glen has been fitted with colour changing lights. The effect is magical and well worth a visit.

The Herring Tower, as it became known, is not far from Langness Lighthouse and also is close to the trig pillar.
The tower displayed a fire during the herring fishing season to guide vessels into Derbyhaven.
In 1811 Thomas Brine was commissioned to build two daymarks on the Isle of Man. Two identical castellated stone towers were built, this one at Dreswick Point near Langness, and the other at Douglas Head.
