Vernon Mount
Instead of the same ol’ beach photos & strolling around looking for something different, today I did something different! We took a spin up to Vernon Mount just outside Douglas to watch the motocross. I’d wanted to try my hand at motocross photography for quite a while but never actually bothered when it came to it.

To coin a well worn phrase, the action was “fast & furious” and I managed to take around 400 shots within an hour of arriving. Yep, I actually managed to pace myself instead of shooting everything that moved.
I’ll definately be going up there again, it’s just a matter of sticking my head out the back door of the house, listening for the drone of the bikes, grabbing my camera and heading up. Until then, Flickr has some more for you to look at.

So, you and Peter both went up there at the same time, mad! Great shots too, I’ll have to make the trek from Blarney there some weekend!
