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).
ReplyDeleteGreat sky image,
ReplyDeleteand 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? ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank`s for visiting at my site.
Great reflections in the Sulby, great post.
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful. I would love to see one large enough to fill my screen.
ReplyDeleteLovely picture. I do enjoy your writing too. I will be off the check out those cartoons.
ReplyDeleteI can see why this is a favourite place! What beauty, and nice weather that you caught so well!
ReplyDeleteHappy skywatch!
Now that is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat is the "perfect" landscape shot!
ReplyDeleteBravo!
Cheers, Klaus
That ought to be on a postcard. What a perfect scene to promote your tourist industry!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fantastic view. Lovely photography.
ReplyDeleteThanks 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!
ReplyDeleteGreat landscape and the reflections too. I'll browse the cartoons over the weekend..
ReplyDeleteAn elegant shot with wonderful reflections. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteThe 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 :)
ReplyDeleteCool 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. :)
ReplyDeleteStunning picture. The colours are so vivid. Beautiful nature and photo as well.
ReplyDeleteI also liked the first cartoon most ("now wash your hands..").
Happy skywatching and have a nice rest of the week:-)

ReplyDeleteGill in Canada
Awesome shot, like a painting!
ReplyDeleteIt does look like a painting and if I were there, it would certainly be one of my favorite places. Just gorgeous! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteNorth Barrule? Surely not - you've cleverly patched in a shot of Black Combe!
ReplyDeleteAre they buy chance related? I think we should be told.
Beautiful picture as ever, anyway.
That was a greate photo!
ReplyDeleteEnitharmon.- It was your shot of Black Combe that reminded me to show the Barrule. They do look like twins
ReplyDeleteFolks 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.
ReplyDeleteif i live there,it'll definitely my fav place in the world!
ReplyDeletegreat 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.
ReplyDeleteThe mirror of the sky... Wonderful photo !
ReplyDeleteBeautiful image for Sky Watch Friday, every looks so fresh. Thanks for sharing with us all.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photo. I love the reflection.
ReplyDeleteSharon
So pretty, love the green doesn't look like fall at all.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful view of the mountain from the nature reserve! The sky and reflection are lovely. Interesting about the name change. Great photo and post!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to hike there:-))) The landscape is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteWow - the reflection is most beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteLB,
ReplyDeleteGenius photography. What can I say!
Beautiful Riverscape , excellent!
ReplyDeletewhat a relaxing scenery...beautiful reflection.
ReplyDeleteNice peaceful scene. Much more lush than around here now.
ReplyDeleteWill 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.
ReplyDeleteOn 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeletewhat a shot...love the reflection. thanks for sharing this beautiful photo with us.
ReplyDeletemagnifique ce ciel et son reflet.
ReplyDeleteThat photo's just awesome. Not just the sky, either. The whole thing. Just lovely. So lush & beautiful. Intriguing. :)

ReplyDeleteI have a really fresh feeling just by looking at it.
ReplyDeleteI 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!!
ReplyDeleteOMGosh - it's beautiful there! I love the clouds, the water, the mountains, Love it all!!!
ReplyDeleteThis image is one that you see in storie books! Beautiful! A SWF gal that's impressed by this image!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful...I so love thick clouds and reflections!
ReplyDeleteExcellent photo, as always. Makes me want to ride on a boat. Lovely skies, too.
ReplyDelete'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.
ReplyDeleteHi 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!"
ReplyDeleteCartoons:
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.
