Marine Drive


On a day with what seems to be pretty typical weather for February, we headed over to checkout the Marine Drive. This runs along a rugged section of coast near Douglas.

Near this lighthouse at the entrance to the harbor, stands a small building housing a camera obscura. Naturally, like everything thing else (castles, abbeys, ancient structures of all sorts), it is close until May. I believe I can see why this is..sucky weather.



At the formal entrance to the scenic drive is this Victorian gothic structure.


Beyond, are several quite nice vistas that we can mostly see through the fog.


Even though there is lots of fog, it seems to add to the sense of isolation in this view.


Not a place to be out in a boat this time of year. Views like this really reinforce the need for a lifeboat service here.
