Here I'll Stand
Sunbeams break through the clouds looking west over the Irish Sea as seen from the barren summit of Sartfell with its iconic telegraph pole protruding from the hilltop.

The Telegraph Pole
The lonely telegraph pole marking the summit of Sartfell on a calm summer evening along the west coast of the island. The last light of the day beautifully catching the distant peaks of Snaefell and North Barrule out to the east. Sartfell is not a dramatic peak in itself, having a fairly rounded and mundane summit profile, but the views from its peak are always fantastic and the telegraph pole makes for a great focal point. I’d highly recommend a visit during what’s left of our topsy turvy summer 🌅 Please visit my YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/jamesbrewphoto" rel="noreferrer nofollow www.youtube.com/jamesbrewphoto Please visit www.jamesbrew.com" rel="noreferrer nofollow www.jamesbrew.com for my website and full Portfolio.
