This is one of the local place names to have been translated into English, against all usage. Who on earth is the Ma.r.tian who ever says “Monn al Long Mountain” or “Linn tir enn zoli foto Long Mountain”? The most ridiculous of all these names is probably “Tombeau Bay”, which doesn't even mean anything in English.
Nice! :D
ReplyDeleteThere is also a river nearby and a school, the one I attend. And I get to watch this view each day. :D

ReplyDeleteYes, I saw your school, but didn't take any pics of it. :)
