That rock again

Been occupied on a number of fronts so haven't posted much of late.  A day's hillwalking in the Mournes on 9 December 2012 brought me back past a boulder I photographed in December 2010 and 2011 so nothing would do but I had to photograph it again.  All 3 are below and all in different light.  This is beginning to feel like an annual pilgrimage.

This year's picture was taken in a howling gale that at times threatened to blow us off our feet.  By the time we had lost some height the wind had eased a bit but I was surprised that the picture is sharp. This time the rock can be seen in its surroundings looking down towards the sea and Donard Forest.
