The Isle of Man
Today’s adventure with Google Earth took me to the Isle of Man, which I’d been reading about in Armadale. Its scenery resembles that of Ireland (it’s in the Irish Sea). With relative ease, one is able to use Google’s “street view” function to trace the entirety of the A18, which connects several of the important coastal towns. This route also approaches the Isle’s tallest mountain (of some 2000 feet). The change in scenery, therefore, is dramatic in a small way. Occasionally, sheep appear along the road; the little towns, also, are nice to look at, and one infers from billboards that the motor racing is distinguished.
In honor of the Isle of Man, tonight I listened to the Bee Gees, who lived there before moving to Manchester and Australia. Here is a video of their underrated song, “Fanny (Be Tender with My Love).”
