It's Friday it must be skywatch. I must be showing you a photo of my favourite place in Ramsey . The Poyll Nature Reserve, along the side of the Sulby River. A wider view though today. Same reflections and fluffy clouds but can you see the North Barrule in the distance, on the right hand side. What is a that though?
North Barrule which overlooks Ramsey. You can actually walk up there if you're feeling energetic.
This image is an archive, Sept. The river has sunken a little but it's still too muddy to actually walk down there without getting your boots sucked onto the mud. I'm pressed for time tonight due to my parnter's busy deadlines, so had to post an image that had been pre scheduled with all the info written.
Of course you can always look around for all the other beauties of the skies.

Oooh! I would love to spend a day or two exploring that nature reserve! Maybe I should come across the water from my home in Cumbria (I can see I.o.M. on a clear day).
Great sky image,
and I agree with Maalie:
Wished I were there! :)
"Now wash your hands of all responsibility!" really made me laugh out loud! (Galgenhumor, gallows humour, really!)
But were is snow? ;-)
Thank`s for visiting at my site.
Great reflections in the Sulby, great post.
That is beautiful. I would love to see one large enough to fill my screen.
Lovely picture. I do enjoy your writing too. I will be off the check out those cartoons.
I can see why this is a favourite place! What beauty, and nice weather that you caught so well!
Happy skywatch!
Now that is beautiful!
That is the "perfect" landscape shot!
Bravo!
Cheers, Klaus
That ought to be on a postcard. What a perfect scene to promote your tourist industry!
Such a fantastic view. Lovely photography.
Thanks for the session on the rule of three. I am working on it.
Cartoons
1) Great, made me laugh still am.
2 and 3) not so funny.
7) Sharp and to the point, good.
12) Very good.
Impressive landscape capture!
Great landscape and the reflections too. I'll browse the cartoons over the weekend..
An elegant shot with wonderful reflections. Nice job!
The first cartoon was my favourite (the "now wash your hands of all responsibility" especially). No.9 was the other one I liked. Hope that helps :)
Cool picture here too!
Lovely image.. and that pub below is striking. A place I'd love to explore. Thanks for your visit over at my blog. :)
Stunning picture. The colours are so vivid. Beautiful nature and photo as well.
I also liked the first cartoon most ("now wash your hands..").
Happy skywatching and have a nice rest of the week:-)
super photo, love the reflection in the water.......

Awesome shot, like a painting!
It does look like a painting and if I were there, it would certainly be one of my favorite places. Just gorgeous! Thank you!
North Barrule? Surely not - you've cleverly patched in a shot of Black Combe!
Are they buy chance related? I think we should be told.
Beautiful picture as ever, anyway.
That was a greate photo!
Enitharmon.- It was your shot of Black Combe that reminded me to show the Barrule. They do look like twins
Folks I urge you to take a look at the "Black Coombe" link- see what you think it is spooky.
Gorgeous reflection. I've said it before and I'll say it again - it could be a Scottish Loch. Beautiful.
if i live there,it'll definitely my fav place in the world!
great capture!!
My SWF#4
Gorgeous shot. I love how you captured the sky so well and also its reflection. As always a very interesting post too. I enjoyed all of the cartoons so I fear I'm not much help. I think any of them would be good submissions so my input isn't very useful.
The mirror of the sky... Wonderful photo !
Beautiful image for Sky Watch Friday, every looks so fresh. Thanks for sharing with us all.
Gorgeous photo. I love the reflection.

So pretty, love the green doesn't look like fall at all.
Beautiful view of the mountain from the nature reserve! The sky and reflection are lovely. Interesting about the name change. Great photo and post!
I'd love to hike there:-))) The landscape is fabulous.
Wow - the reflection is most beautiful!!
LB,
Genius photography. What can I say!
Beautiful Riverscape , excellent!
what a relaxing scenery...beautiful reflection.
Nice peaceful scene. Much more lush than around here now.
Will check out G's stuff. YOu know i don't
"get" some of the British political stuff but
will give it a go.

What a gorgeous setting Baboosh.
On the cartoons I find number one a bit serious but very applicable, especially the sink, number 7 funny especially Angela, and number 8 quite representative of repub sentiment on this mess.
Very nice, Babbs. It just can't get much prettier than this.
I did go the BBC page about Gary. I went to his YouTube, things are great there, every scene.
Question, is Brown ever in good graces over there?
Happy SkyWatching, thank you for peeking at my signs. The "W" is for Whataburger, a fast food chain here in the South U.S. that I like.
We skipped your Macdonald's but did get a pizza and Coca Cola Lite at the 'Texas Chicken, Pizza & Kebab House.' The pizza was really good.
..
This picture is a marvel! it is my dream to base myself at a place such as this, far far away from the madness of a chaotic city!
what a shot...love the reflection. thanks for sharing this beautiful photo with us.
magnifique ce ciel et son reflet.
That photo's just awesome. Not just the sky, either. The whole thing. Just lovely. So lush & beautiful. Intriguing. :)
Excellent--supurb. Grand capture. MB
Just stunning! The clouds are my favorite....well, really, the whole photo is!
Nice one with great reflection and clouds.
Great nature indeed and fantastic reflection on the water - thank you for your visit and greetings from Croatia.
A wonderful photo and I really like the cloud reflection in the water. Your water looks like glass.
Happy SWF.
Another amazing shot from you.
This shot is simply stunning. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers!

Thank you so much for your concern and good wishes.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Lovely image of a lovely spot. I'll try to take a peek at the funny stuff tomorrow :)
That roll of cloud looks intensely dramatic! Like pondering deep thoughts before acting! Great contrast with the serene landscape below!

What a wonderful place to blow the cobwebs away. How do you get your landscapes so crisp?
It's a nice and friendly sky and the reflection it wonderful.
Happy skywatch, Babooshka!
The Sulby River looks very special place to be. Greeting and wishes. I like the cartoons.
What a beautiful spot. I'd like to see a then and now comparison. Always interesting to see what difference the seasons make.
I love your photos!And I learn so much reading your posts.
You cant tell its muddy. Looks like a great place to walk.
What a gorgeous place you live in! Love the reflection of the sky in the water.
This is beautiful and I enjoy learning about the Isle of Man.
Good to see clear nature and a wunderful sky.
oh man, look at those wonderful puffy clouds floating through the sky. How beautiful!
That's fabulous!
Wonderful enticing shot of a beautiful and peaceful setting. Oh to stroll along the banks and drink in the scene.
That is awesome!
Another brilliant picture of a brilliant place. Thanks.
What a gorgeous spot ... makes me want to take a leisurely walk ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
No idea about the name, but the photo is marvelous as always.
I can see why this is one of your favorite places in Ramsey!
I have a really fresh feeling just by looking at it.
I didn´t "get" many of those UK-centric jokes, but the one that was the funniest for me was republican party as a baby, who destroys the world economy- tower.
What a stunning shot! Great SWF photo!!
OMGosh - it's beautiful there! I love the clouds, the water, the mountains, Love it all!!!
This image is one that you see in storie books! Beautiful! A SWF gal that's impressed by this image!
Beautiful...I so love thick clouds and reflections!
Excellent photo, as always. Makes me want to ride on a boat. Lovely skies, too.
'Let them eat Caviar' (I got it and it was hard hitting) and 'Wonderful thing about Despots' (was shocking and oddly made me laugh) were my favorites in the gallery.
Happy Sky Watch Friday!

Stunning photograph. Vibrant and scenic. An immensely rich photo.
Hi Baboushka, I always love to see Nature Reserves as they are so important. This one is very beautiful. When I arrive at one of my own links, looking up something I say:" Oh c'est moi!"
Cartoons:
First and all are absolutely to the point;
Let them eat Caviar.
Second; Three big parties one big beast;
Third; Conference season;
What an outstanding picture. I love everything.
This is my first visit here and your photos are great. Excellent eye and technical skills.
Wow, I could look at that all day, beautiful.
I love the reflection in this...a wonderful shot....

A Lovely shot,indeed, but I am intrigued by the source and meaning of that word. I hope you can ferret it out and inform us.
Great reflections !
