Ramsey Isle of Man is my world. This image is Queens Pier 2/100 for those keeping count.
Thanks in advance for all those new people stopping by as I have been named
"blog of note" today.
The Pier has since fallen on bad times, as I pointed out in my
skywatch post. A group the "Friends of Queen's Pier" was set up to
hightlight the plight of the pier, and to try and save it, from the neglect it has suffered over the years. It's future is still uncertain, but at least it has now been secured. We need to preserve this pier as many of those in the UK has
been lost to the elements or even fire. Save our Pier. I know I'm home when I see it coming along the coast road.
For more my entries click
MY WORLD and thank the
skywatch gang once again for another inspired idea.

Pier, tramway and tradition. Good report.
Babooshka you've gone and done it again. A stunning photo of a brilliant piece of engineering that quite rightly needs preserving for future generations to come. It would seem that it's save the pier week as I've posted the same......

Great shot!

And congrats!
Congrats on blog of note! I love taking pictures myself. I posted some on my page but those pics need some touching up.
Thank you for the wonderful tour. This 2nd week of meme really makes us appreciate the many places that we don't usually see or ever had a chance to visit like the one you showed me in this post. Hope you get to have time to check my world too. Another great job and more to come in the coming weeks.
Congratulation on being in the blog of note. Nice scenery on your part of the world. Have a nice day.
not only is the bridge neat, but the water underneath is cool too :)
Welcome to my blog.
Congrats on becoming noteworthy!
Lovely photo and I hope you manage to save the pier. Too many historical structurea have either succumbed to weather or 'accidental' fire.
Very nice blog. Congrats.
All terribly nostalgic for me as I used to live in Ramsey. I do so wish they would rebuild that pier. they have been going on about doing it for years!
A great photo of the Pier, Babooshka, and it is always a pleasure to read your comments with your photos. Congratulations for the award!!
love the colors of the sand & water below the pier.
And on being BLOG of NOTE - that's so very, very exciting & cool! I can tell my friends that I know you - well, that I blog with you, in the same blog-sphere... Congrats!
Hey Babooshka
You made it! I
Wonderful, isn't it...:)
Now the entire world will know about you, not that most of it didn't already know!
Hi mate

congratulations Babooshka for being named on "blog of Note"!:) You deserve it!
I also love piers. I used to live in Brighton and felt very similar about the West Pier, luckily a Grade 1 listed pier, but still its fate is certain.
Loved the mention of Sodor, which before now I had only heard of in my son's Thomas the Tank Engine DVDs (I apologise for my ignorance on this matter, but I really never knew it was a real place).
Congrats on being blog of note!
great photos!
great photo

You're famous!!! Congrats on the Blog of Note recognition. We've known it all along, but it's nice when someone else notices how great your blog is. :)
I love this view.
We already knew how good you are, about time the rest found out.
Congratulations! Love the shadows and reflections. And the angle. Perfection, as always. BJ
I'm not here. I'm on a coach to london but i just had to congratulate you on being a blog of note. It's photos like todays that show why you deserve it. This comment probably cost me a fortune on my phone. Catch up with you friday. Marley :)
Excellent photo, you've got the contrast just right in this one. I look forwardto seeing somemore of your photos in future, as I'm trying to learn photography for myself.
Would you be able to post some tips on how you take photos, for those of us less well informed (or skilled!)
Thanks
Congratulations on the blog of note. I can not say enough just how totally professional you are as a photographer, a genuinely funny writer and all round good egg. Please can someone on the island in a position of power get hold hold of this lady and give her the keys to the island. I never liked come overs, until now.

You deserve no doubt.

Congratulations on being named blog of note!
Congratulations also for the photograph of the bridge. I hope you and your friends' actions will save the bridge as you've worked hard to do.
I saw a deal on TV the other night about Ghost Ships & they told about one in The Isle Of Man and I thought of you! hehehe
Congrats - Blog of Note - Very cool!
I have to be honest, I hadn't really heard too much about The Isle Of Man until about a year ago when I came across a radio based web cam in Ireland and the DJ was originally from there. I don't remember hearing or studying about it in school, but now, I know where it is and I've checked it out on Google Earth, which is a technological amazement for me!
I hope everything works out with the pier because history is important for our future.
Congrats on being named a Blog of note. Great photos...

Will you move to Liverpool and do a photo a day of our fair city in this "City of Culture year" please. I used to go to the island in the 60's. You have bought back many happy times. If you are in Liverpool, stop by the Cavern any evening.
I like the geometry of the stilts (?) and your angle take. Nice as always, Babooshka!
Congrats on the blog of note - hope the spammers calm down soon (no doubt they'll be onto tomorrow's blog of note soon enough). What a lovely picture :)
