Most Manx cats are tailless.
The proof. No tail !
Ducks swimming in the salty water of the Irish sea.
Laxey Beach.
Negotiating the purchase of a tourist pass.
The Laxey Wheel. 22m diameter waterwheel, the largest in the world.
Build in 1854 to pump water from the mine shafts.
I must consult the Manx road signs tonight on Wikipedia.
Another Manx cat.
Many houses for sale.
Along the hiking path.
Let's take a bath.
Crossing a main road.
Milestone along the road.
Regulating traffic.
There is a also an electrical tram line climbing the mountain.
Reached the summit through a not so easy to find path.
620m above sea level.
620m above sea level.
No speed limits on this road, part of the famous Isle of Man race.
It's not the sky, but the seaa at the horizon.
Big sheep, probably big shit !
End of the day. Carole still full of energy.
Empty bottles and empty glasses.

Next time you reach a 620 metre summit try to place the camera in the right place in order to keep your whole head in the frame. But, I guess it must have been the effect of the lack of oxygen in the air at that altitude :) besos
Hello Julie, I cant't remember wether that picture was a 'selfie' ;-)
