Is this the Moddey Doo, the strange mythical dog that legend has it scared a soldier to death and haunts Peel Castle? No it can't be! I don't think the Moddey Doo ever visits Ramsey. I know someone magical who is though!The Moddey Doo was covered in a post earlier in the week. In a nutshell it's a mythical black dog that scared a soldier to death and haunts Peel Castle. If you put the words " Moddey Doo in the search box at the top of the page it will take you to the post for the full story. I just couldn't resist posting this image as the poor low light intensified the black coat, and merged his featured making him look a little haunting. Don't know who's it is but it's gorgeous.
So who or what is in or about to be in Ramsey? The escaped wallaby possibly and Manx fairies always in hiding, so no not them. Apparently we do have a film crew and a wizard though. Well an actor who played a Wizard. Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter film series will be in the up coming film WILD TARGET . The Isle of Man I have mentioned before is often used as a film location. For a full list of films see the ISLE OF MAN FILM INDUSTRY . See how many films you've seen that you never knew had an Isle Of Man Connection.
If anyone decides to make a film about the Moddey Doo can they contact me first. I know the perfect dog to cast! I've already taken his portfolio photo.

Is there anything you don't know? Mad dog. I've got a question to ask by email. Odd thing but I think you can help. Keep the blog up.
ReplyDeleteBabooshka: Neat story of the mystical dog, you did well to capture him.
ReplyDeleteIs this great guy a Black Lab? I love them, but my heart and soul lies with my Baxter, a golden retriever, whom I loved with all my heart.
ReplyDeletethat's a beautiful photo, i really like it
ReplyDeleteTag!
ReplyDeleteNow that's a good picture, with motion and a bit of mystery. What's going on here? I don't do animal Sunday but I'm shooting the annual blessing of the animals at the local Episcopal cathedral on Sunday. Results on my blog in a few days.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fantastic photo, for so many reasons. This image is so striking. It looks like a snapshot of a dream.
ReplyDeleteThe Isle of Man is getting more and more attractive!!

Hello Babooshka !

Nice action shot. I enjoy your blog as you always have such interesting info that accompany your photos
ReplyDeleteIt is a black dog, whether it is A Black Dog is moot. It isn't walking onthe water.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo.....it looks like it is having fun running through the water! And that is a lot of movies on your little island! I was surprised they only started filming there in the 90s and not before.
ReplyDeleteSee you around then? Ramsey will be part of the film. You tell a good tale.
ReplyDeleteI would say he looks a little halloweenish, lol !
ReplyDeleteEven if his film career doesn't take off, he sure looks like he's having fun. BJ
ReplyDeleteGreat shot and a lovely posing.
