to be Surprised by One's Shadow

This is the view looking northward across Kerroogarroo civil war fort in the north of the Island.

It enjoys a commanding position and as such catches every wind that blows.

Just for once it was not blowing a full Irish Sea gale today and. as you can see, the sun was shining.

I find this fort to be difficult to photograph.  It is difficult to get any idea of scale.  The best results are obtained in an aerial photograph.

A little more information about the place is here:
