I only spotted that the arch was shaped like the ancient egyptian queen Nefertiti's head when looking at the shot on the monitor. This was taken at Yesnaby on the biggest island of the Orkneys, confusingly called mainland. It is a wonderful location with spectacular waves and this was in May, when it wasn't that windy. I am going back there in August for 4 weeks and will explore the area some more.
