It's Skywatch Friday again and that means it's going to be Ramsey Harbour and Ramsey Swing Bridge for me this week. As they say if it isn't broke don't fix it, so what else should I bring you after a black and white shot yesterday but a pretty sunset for skywatch.It's taken on the same day as last week, only at a slightly different time an further over to the right. It will soon be too dark and cold for me to take these shots so I am making the most of them before it's cold wet and even more miserable than the already horrid summer we had this year. I expect I will be showing you dramatic cloud shots soon. Also I've been confined to the house with the flu thingy and it's been a week of archive images.
Today though I have been out and about meeting a very sweet black cat who posed nicely, photographing empty shops(don't ask) a few other little quirky little manx oddities and cranes. Lots of cranes. Why cranes? Well Gary is workiing on a project that involves cranes. He's also working on another hush hush project that involves a cinematic icon likeness and a well known phrase. It's all cloak and dagger isn't it, but I can't reveal more as yet. For a sneak peak you can catch his latest art work at BARKER BITES BACK! and drop a word or two.
Scarlet, tune in tomorrow for neme and some of you some blog awards.
To join skywatch go to SKYWATCH
The concept was Dot's, the next host WIGGERS WORLD the guardians of skywatch now are Tom, Imac and Sandy
The colours and the scenery are beautiful indeed! :-)
ReplyDeleteThe weather's been miserable all day here. I went out at 6.30pm to pick up my daughter after a game, and it was pitch black on my drive through the Vienna Woods! Rainy and wet too. Yikes, can't believe that only two weeks ago I was swimming in the lake at sunset!
Let's hope for Indian Summer to visit us both!
There's something very romantic about this...the colours, calm water, that pleasing swing bridge..
ReplyDeleteLove the reflection of soft colours in contrast to silhouette shapes! Beautiful pic!
ReplyDeleteGreat capture, love the colours - its beautiful.
ReplyDeleteEmpty shops eh, Ive thought of that a few weeks ago - to show how our town is going.
Awesome catch..... Great job! Reminds me the saying,,,, We never know how high we are, till we are called to ris; and then, if we are true to plan, our statures touch the sky... Happy Skywatch! Hope you can visit my SWF entry too...
ReplyDeleteGreat shot and perfect exposure.
ReplyDeleteI love the contrast in your photo. It's surreal. Where is the Isle of Man?
ReplyDeleteBonsoir Toi...
ReplyDeleteJe pense que je vais prendre bientôt le bâteau (j'ai peur en avion...) pour aller visiter ta si belle ile...
Vraiment jolie cette photo en B&W...
It is like in dream yes.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos Baboushka, hope you got over the flu thing.

ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful, soft colors in that sky, and I love how the water just glistens! Happy SWF. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely shot the sun shining in the water is so pretty.
ReplyDeletePretty sunset indeed. Mine's a sunset too this week. Come see mine if you have time.
ReplyDeleteYes, soon winter will curtail our photo ops. Boo hiss! This is another lovely photo, the sunlight is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI loved your tulip from yesterday. Although I am very pleased with myself for my own flower photos, this is in a different league. Great work!
Hope you are feeling better soon - Night Nurse and a hot toddy is the way to go :)
nice sunset picture. I like how you used the bridge
ReplyDeleteRamsey harbour is an amazing place! This sunset is lovely.
ReplyDeleteAH!
ReplyDeleteI hope the flu' leaves your house soon so you can too! This is beautiful - just lovely. I would want to sit here for a long while.
ReplyDeleteThe sun makes a great reflection through the bridge and on the water. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteI think I have been trying to go to the wrong blog for you.
ReplyDeleteThis photo is great!
beautiful photo! love how it's almost all in silhouette.. Happy SWF!
ReplyDeletebeautiful colors and composition.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sunset! Lovely colours! Have a nice Friday and week-end dear Babooshka! :-)
ReplyDeletePerfect! Bridge, water, sky. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThis sunset photo is as lovely as last weeks!
ReplyDeleteHappy Sky Watch!
Another beautiful capture of the harbor at sunset, Babooshka! Super Sky Watch post! With the slightly different angle than last week, I think I can catch the outline of a fishing trawler on the left. :)
ReplyDeletePretty sunset indeed. Beautiful shot.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic photo! Great picture for skywatch!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great sunset and the blue is so dark and dramatic! Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteLB,
ReplyDeleteAll the above. I'd like to see your bars when you get the chance.
Really beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreat skywatch - nice to have good images to store up for the winter.
ReplyDeleteI love the light here, Babooshka. Your photos are always marvelous.
ReplyDeleteLovely color!
ReplyDeleteAs always a beautiful shot.
ReplyDeleteYou get better, now. No sickies!!! MB
What Merisi said is true, the sun is too lazy to rise and sets immediately hehehe....I have to copy your photo opp grabbing for autumn then...another dramatic sky and water reflection on this bridge...lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love the light reflecting in the water. Great photo. Happy SWF.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to see how you capture the bridge differently each time.
Thank you for visiting Skywatch at Juhu Beach
Thanks, Bab, for giving me the heads up. Your Sky Watch is very nice, the sunset is great! I like swinging bridges, we have one at our Baytown (Texas) for the railroad.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your telling me about the Corkhill name, ours does not have the "h" as it is spelled Corkill. There were over a half page of them in the Douglas phone book. I didn't look for the other as I didn't know about it. Probably they are from the same tree? I will try checking.
.. ☺ ☺ ☺
pretty sunset sky Babooshka.
ReplyDeleteI like the cool hues of this photograph, so calming and reflective. I always enjoy your SWF post, Babooshka.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I missed the previous two wonderful posts in monochrome. I especially like the action you captured of that motorbike stunt.
lovely purple tint!
ReplyDeletealmost a purple haze
ReplyDeleteScrumptious !
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - love how the sun hits the water - all the way to the front. Awesome colors!
ReplyDeletec'est superbe et on reste rêveur devant....
ReplyDeleteit is superb and it remains to dreamer ....
excellent composition with great contrast
ReplyDeleteHi Bab, I wondered when "the bridge" would get another outing. It's becoming like an old friend now that we see it so much.
ReplyDeleteGreat sunset too.
What a way to close the day.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo. Thank you.
The perspective with the objects and bridge jutting out into the water remind me of peninsulas intermingling. Lovely skywatch.
ReplyDeleteTHere is nothing ordinary about this shot, Babooshka. You always capture the magic. This is beautiful, dreamlike and ethereal.
ReplyDeleteWhat Laurie said. Always special.
ReplyDeleteThese tones are of my favorite color.
ReplyDeleteThat`s a really beautiful photo:o)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful light! Pink and blue at their best!
ReplyDeleteThat is so beautiful - hope the good weather keeps up; would love to see more!
ReplyDeleteNice shot with beautiful colours and a fantastic reflection of the sun in the water.
ReplyDeleteThat is just stunning!
ReplyDeleteSuper sunset!
ReplyDeleteI certainly hope you're recovering well from your flu thingy. It's a good sign that you are back to getting out and shooting. I'd say that's the best medicine. Nothing like getting out, seeing the world and capturing it through your own eyes. It is a pleasure knowing your blog-quaintance. I appreciate your kindness and of course, your wonderful and dramatic photography.
ReplyDeleteA great photo,definitely a romantic feel to this with those lovely soft colours and the sun's rays on the water.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the serenity of that photo, and the sincere personal touch in the post. I hope you shake that flu and feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteThe colors are glorious!
ReplyDeleteRamsey Harbour and the swing bridge are beautiful at any time of day or weather conditions! It's really stunning at sunset. Great capture! I hope you're feeling better and that your flu goes away soon.
ReplyDeleteDelightful photo of the sunset! I love the setting - water, bridge and sun with a few clouds. I am looking forward to to your cats and cranes posts. I hope your flu has flown long before the next sky watch.
ReplyDeleteBelle lumiere
ReplyDeleteToo dark and cold...I hear you on that one! Now while I must give my compliments on a nice shot (there's a somber mood to it), I am intrigued by all the mystery surrounding the cranes and empty shops. I know...don't ask! ;-)
ReplyDeleteAmazing colours. I have noticed that the sky on higher latitudes tends to be much more colourful than e.g. here in Poland. I am missing it so much after coming back from Norway!
ReplyDeleteExcellent colours and a lovely atmosphere.
ReplyDeleteI love it. Greate photo.
ReplyDeleteA fantastic photo! Love coming here.
ReplyDeleteReally love those colors ..
ReplyDelete:-Daryl
Very nice soothing sunset sky. And I like the crashing waves below too. Can almost smell the seawater. And thanks for visiting my blog!
ReplyDeletethank you for saw my web.
ReplyDeleteit's wonderful.
Your harbor is lovely to see either in color or black and white!
ReplyDeletetres dramatique! get well, now. I recommend hot tea with a shot of Jack D.
ReplyDeleteNice pictures - I always enjoy seeing sun and water being the main actors. Thank you for your visit
ReplyDeleteAmazing shot!
ReplyDeleteTkx for passing by.
Have a great weekend.
Wonderful colors!
ReplyDeleteThe bridge gives a nice effect.

I really like the colours on this one - I think I prefer it to last week's pic.
ReplyDeleteMagical
ReplyDeleteGreat color and contrast. Wonderful shot.
ReplyDeleteCheers
I don't know what it is about swing bridge but it sort of romantic.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping in and the coffee is always on.
Sweet. Gorgeous colors and composition.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot.
ReplyDeleteSo this is what it looks like to get 89, 89! comments. Holy moly B, girl you must be number one today. Hope all this love is making you feel much better. Tell G. I like that De NIro piece today. Would love to know how he does that. Very interesting!!
ReplyDeleteOh, and love your Skywatch today. I finally got my act together and joined in as well.
Thanks for the light under your swing bridge and the photo lesson to follow, don't know how long my old head will remember it, but here's hoping.
ReplyDeleteThis is another beautiful shot. I always appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Thanks. BJ
ReplyDeletePretty sunset with the bridge in view!
ReplyDeleteThe picture is so beautiful. Wonderful colors.
ReplyDeleteClassic shot with beautiful lilac shades.
ReplyDeleteHi B,
ReplyDeletePretty again.
This photo is simply stunning. I love it so much !
ReplyDeleteAm a bit late with my sky watch friday this week and as everyone above has said this is an impressive photo of the view of the sky from your end of the world.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
you may not get the intense oranges in your sunrises and sunsets there, but to me, those soft pinks and lilacs are incredibly beautiful too! and that bridge is just the perfect foreground.
ReplyDeleteRamsey can be very nice when the sunshines.
ReplyDeleteWow. Amazing shot.
ReplyDeleteGreat capture with wonderful colors and silhuette.
