SYWATCH FRIDAY - SNAEFELL A VIKING MOUNTAIN

Snaefell is the tallest mountain on the Isle Of Man, and again named by our Viking friends. In the photo it's the middle mountain, the one with the TV masts on. It's in perspective, ie far away and this is the view from Ramsey. Below is the Wiki link with the stats, links, and view of the railway tram which takes you to the summit should you not want to walk that far.

It is true on a very, very clear day you can see the UK, the sea below, and the heavens above. A great place to survey the Island as the Vikings would have seen it. It also takes on a very magical spooky feeling when a fog or mist descends. I took this view with the Barrule peeking through on the left and on the right the start of Skyhill so you would see how the Vikings would have viewed it from Ramsey free of modern housing and shops and business premises. I can see all this from my house either front or back. Therefore I am always under the shadow of the Vikings.
