I took these photos yesterday, boxing day, and it was overcast and trying to rain, though it never did much to the dismay of our hosts as its been weeks since they have had any descent rainfall, it seams all the water used on the island has to be collected from rooftops and stored in tanks, so they are starting to get a bit worried.

bright sunshine.

Arbutus Tree growing out of the side of the cliff, thought this looked pretty impressive, so risked life and limb to take this pic. When I got near enough to take the shot it didn't look all that special up close but took the pic. anyway. The intrepid traveller lives another day.
