Let The Train Take The Strain - This is one of the Mountain Railway trains that will take you from Laxey to the Summit Hotel; the hotel is 26 feet (8 metres) below the summit. Notice the mist in the background, a couple of minutes later and that mist had almost hidden the flag pole on the right. Image Date: 03/07/2011
Low Cloud - That cloud had surrounded me a couple of minutes after I took this picture, it can be bright sunshine one minute and heavy mist the next. Image Date: 03/07/2011
The Summit Hotel - The sky cleared for a few minutes. Image Date: 03/07/2011
Descending Snaefell - I took this photo by accident, every minute or so I just put my camera out of the window and 'clicked', I was just trying to capture the view, I didn't know a train was on the way up - I'm quite pleased with the resulting image. Image Date: 03/07/2011
