Still here

 At Downhill Beach, that is.  And still alive - just.  Today is the day we've all been looking forward to in the McNeill household - the last day of A Level assessments. It's 7.53am as I type this and in about 30 minutes or so I'll be taking Missy to school for the penultimate time (tomorrow is her last official day - and end-of-year BBQ, weather permitting.  That last bit is probably the important bit, since we had sleet showers yesterday and temperatures are hovering around zero this morning, due to an icy blast coming from the North).   Anyway, the end of the madness is nigh - at 3.30pm today we can all breathe a collective sigh of relief.  The house needs a serious clean and we are all in need of some R&R.  That's about as far as the plans go at the moment.

So this is the last of the shots from Downhill I printed last week - though probably not the last in the series.  I hope I'm not boring you - and I also hope I'll be able to get out&about a bit more regularly from now on, so a little more variety is on the cards for the near future.  

This shows the biggest stack in Downhill Beach and in fact its really only visible once you pass it and look back...from the other side it looks like the cliff face until you are really close to it.  We're looking West in this shot, so that's Donegal/Inishowen in the far background.

More rock formations on Downhill Beach.  On the Blad/FP4/MGV paper.

I'm standing almost directly underneath the Mussenden Temple at this point and when you look up at it, several hundred feet above, you get a new appreciation of how mad the location is, right at the edge of the cliff face.  It's nuts!
