Out and about on Mann

Absolutely breathtaking Sheal, beautiful

 

Thank you Woo and Loli.

 

Wonderful post to come across this evening Sheal,

Jenny

 

Thank you Jenny.

 

oh how beautiful!

 

Thank you Maria.

 

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing, just saying its lovely Sheal

 

Thanks Zigs.

 

I had four hours to kill in Douglas today in a howling gale so I spent some of the time battling the wind to take some shots.

The gardens on Douglas Promenade






High Street, Douglas.....not very impressive


Clock tower dedicated to Queen Victoria. Recently moved just 8ft to make way for traffic.


Inner harbour




The lift bridge between inner and outer harbours


Outer harbour


Monument




Sitting on Douglas Head in my car looking down on two of our three vessels, both harboured today because of gales.

 

Smashing shots Sheal, love a good pigeon too

 

Thanks Zigs. That pigeon didn't budge an inch! I think he was sheltering there because he was exhausted trying to get about in the wind.

 

Aww

 

I've never tried one Zigs, taste ok?

 

The weather's to bad to be out and about but thought you might like a look into the past. The song is 'Ellan Vannin' and 'covered' by the Gibb brothers (Bee Gees) who were born here.
