Ooh! I like this, the mountain is basically protecting what’s behind it with its height, making the hurricane turn around. Kind of reminds me of Game of Thrones when they call the guy The Mountain! Thanks for sharing this!

This is lovely, Jaya, I can imagine the mountain, so solid, acting as a bulwark against the gales, literally turning them around to dissipate over the sea. Beautiful! Lisa x
