      It's enough carrying the camera gear around! Pete was with me, I should have told him to give me a leg up. :heehee:

        T.T. (Tourist Trophy) fortnight started at the weekend, this first week is practice week when a small percentage of the fans arrive, already the numbers are up on last year. Here's just a few at the T.T. Grandstand in Douglas. During race week, next week, the whole island will be 'throbbing'. :)

          The high and remote area of Druidale, one of my favourite places and the only sound you can hear is sheep. :) A couple of pictures are hazy, sorry.

          This picture was taken through the windscreen of my car, they were just a few feet away.

            These next three shots follow on and I've thrown in an extra winter shot for comparison.

            Excuse the 'blot' on the landscape, there was no where else to park.

                    In between the heavy rain today I visited a local arboretum and a woodland park looking for autumn shots for GC's photo competitions. These are some that did and didn't make the grade.
