This unusual view of the hallowed tarmac of the Isle of Man TT course shows the view back along Glencrutchery Road from near the start/finish line.
Taken during a closed road period, but before the machines went out at the 2011 Isle of Man TT, it shows a view which, during racing, would normally see the TT heroes blasting along the road at 170mph-plus as they complete a lap of the 37.7-mile Mountain course.
