There was a serious 20 knot wind hitting me, along with a periodic
light rain, all that day's shooting. It was running left to right
with respect to this frame, coming from the north. I had to stabilize
the tripod by hanging my camera bag from it or it would have blown over.
The coast is very steep by Niarbyl: the road that the woman in the
photo is walking upwards along goes down to a little settlement of
classic Manx cottages in the cove below. I'm on the spit of land
hanging out to meet "the tail" ('the tail' is 'niarbyl' in Manx
Gaelic, the site is named for this outcrop of rocks that extends into
the bay like a big lizard's tail...) about 200 feet above the sea and
bay surroundings, looking backwards at the hillside going upslope
into the Isle's interior. The wind was intense!
