The Camera in my Pocket... 2014..

Went for a Boxing Day walk around some of my childhood haunts yesterday.

A frosty morning with a pale winter sun trying to break through made for some interesting shots.

 

I used to hang out in Graveyards as a child too, no wonder we get on so well

 

Swanage bay and Old Harry this afternoon.




Perveril Point.


Old Harry rocks in the afternoon sun.

 

Lovely day and super visibility in Swanage today then Strongy,
nice piccies and a lovely promenade to air the lungs along,
Jenny

 

Lovely pictures Trunky and Strongy.

 

These first two shots were taken in Mooragh Park, Ramsey.





Taken at dusk on a cold, frosty day.


The peaks in Scotland just visible. The five dots at the base of the mountains to the right I couldn't see with the naked eye. They are five people in a boat!


This man was braving the elements.


A cormorant doing what he does best on the park lake. He spent ages tackling the fish.


And finally, Snaefell Mountain. I took this from nine miles away and didn't see the para-glider to the right until the picture was on my computer screen.

 

Lovely shots today Sheal, thank you. I didn't know you could see those mainland peaks from the IOM. I must take a look in my Atlas,
Jenny

 

Thank you Jenny. On a good, clear day looking from Snaefell we can see Scotland, Ireland, Wales and England. At sea level from time to time I've been able to see the beaches in Scotland quite clearly.

 

Can you see @Steve R 's allotment?
