Could it be Manx Fairy Magic?Well I don't think it's the Isle Of Man Fairies weaving their Manxie Magic and painting the sky with ribbons of gorgeous colour. No I think it's just another wonderful sunset over The Poyll Dooey Nature Reserve. There again with a name as weird as Poyll Dooey you would expect faires elves and Mystical types to be living here. Might even be Ginnie the Witch another famous Manxie. Click on the red words to find out what I'm on waffling about.
Good news - The Maxtor is working
Bad news- No new laptop yet
Good news- I can start taking new images again
Bad news- No laptop to upload too
Good news- The Maxtor holds tonnes of images
Bad news- Gary needs his laptop back.. er now.
Gary is now designing his Christmas Card. Not just any Christmas Card, but a Political Christmas Card. You have no idea the places that this card will turn up, but put it this way a Black Door with a black door knocker and a White House will have a little bit of Ramsey, courtesy of Gary Barker, BBC now and again Political Cartooinst. Do you dare me to add my name, Babooshka Ramsey Daily Photo? Anyway he needs are greater we are sharing his laptop. By the way the cards are being rush printed tonight in America, yes that's right America. The best price and the best service. Now that's not manx magic.
To join us go to SKYWATCH.
The concept was DOT'S, the next host WIGGERS WORLD the guardians of skywatch are Klaus | Sandy | Ivar | Wren | Fishing Guy| Louise
yummy colors. have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteColourful! (And I'll never buy another Maxtor - they depend on their own drivers which can make the disk totally inoperable).
ReplyDeleteOh nice! I love it when the sky turns purplish.
ReplyDeleteMy SWF posts are here and here. Hope you can stop by if you can, it'll be very much appreciated. Happy weekends!
Just sat in awe at these beautiful colours.
ReplyDeleteCould not see Ginnie flying around tho.
For some reason I think the witches and fairies of 'Into the Woods' are there than in mine! Great colors there, hope you enjoy it...(did the maxtor come from the Philippines?)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy me weekly visit to the Isle of Man! Lovely picture!
ReplyDeleteThose colors are breathtaking! Awesome skywatch babooshka!
ReplyDeleteWonderful colour capture here, its impossible to improve on nature. Thanks for sharing. Good luck with the cards too.
ReplyDeleteQuite lovely colors.
ReplyDeleteNice to be in the top ten for first comments on your site for a change instead of past 100... that is just one of the perks I get for taking today off of work. :)
Looks like magic to me. Nice capture.
ReplyDeleteDoes the American printer mail them out for you also?
Sounds like things are looking up. Yes, I know, better when you new laptop arrives.
What wonderful colors!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful shot with all these fine colours. Great!
ReplyDeleteYep print, mail them too and even with delivery and quick turnaround it's still cheaper and quicker than anywhere on the island. Looking into the possibilities for my photos.
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning capture, Babooshka.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend.
I like this picture a lot! So cool! Like always : )!
ReplyDeleteFantastic colours in your photo, always enjoy seeing what you find to share with us all every week.
ReplyDeleteI would say it is Faerie Magic---gorgeous colors. MB
ReplyDeleteGood shoot and butiful color. have great weekend and thanks for coment on mine pic to.
ReplyDeleteOh so pretty bab! Very nice for SWF!
ReplyDeleteIf the fairies were at it, they are some artists! Beautiful shot.
ReplyDeleteMost unusual and beautiful sky colours. I like the way the trees are silhouetted.
ReplyDeleteManx Magic...It's the spell you weave Babooshka when you take stunning images like this. The colours are just divine.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo for SWF. Have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteincredible purple sky! and a very keen observation at my blog. Well done.
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely sunset. Do we get to see Gary's card?
ReplyDeleteA very magic place! The colours are fantastic and so are the trees!
ReplyDeleteA magical purple skyline that's gorgeous! :)
ReplyDeleteBrilliant. Oh, I love this one so much. I say yes, it's fairy magic.
ReplyDeleteBabooshka: I must say purple is a new sky color that you captured. It is magic for certain.
ReplyDeleteReally great spread of colors in photo. It give such a soft hue ... sadly, so ephemeral. But you captured it.
ReplyDeleteThe purple sky does look magical... I hope it is not an omen....Beautiful exposure and happy holidays to all.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful purple skies,Thanks for the stop over
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely a magical, mystical sky! It's just plain beautiful!

Babooshka, this is a fantastic picture! What light and atmosphere!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy Sky Watch!
Splendid sunset dear Babooshka! I'm curious about Gary's political Christmas Card, its design as you described seems quite powerful but it can be interpreted in many ways, no? Have a nice week-end! :-)
ReplyDeleteWell, it looks magical from here. And i love the pelican portrait. I do love seabirds so.
ReplyDeleteso beautiful colors!!
ReplyDeletehave a nice weekend :)
Nature's magic! Good picture!

Many Congratulations!

An awesome shot. I love pictures (taking and seeing)of sunrises and sunsets. You never know what the next one will bring.
ReplyDeleteHi Babooshka, been off the blog visiting circuit for a bit, real life rudely interfering with my cyber life, but great to be back, and greeted by this particular periwinkle blue sky, my FAVOURITE shade of blue. Great pic.
ReplyDeleteMore like clever Babooshka than a clever fairy me thinks
ReplyDeleteciel magnifique et ombres des arbres branches au vent.
ReplyDeletesplendid sky and shades of trees branches in the wind.
Beautiful sky! On the printing - isn't international outsourcing wonderful? Someone here in the US is thanking Gary, but many are complaining about our work being outsourced to Asia. Hope your laptop comes back soon.
ReplyDeleteI trust that the laptop will be available for a while during the weekend, which I wish you in any case to be nice and (possibly and hopefully) relaxing!
ReplyDeletemagic is definitely the right word. that blue violet sky looks magical, B!
ReplyDeleteI gather my remark about a hard drive was prodding a sore point.
ReplyDeleteSounds likethe is some light at the end of the tunnel anyway.
Great, in fact, gorgeous picture.
I Very much enjoyed your beautiful photo.
ReplyDeleteHave a great sky watch week.

ReplyDeleteVraiment féérique, I don't know why but it seems less childish in French.
Wonderful how the gold becomes purple as the eye moves up into the sky.
ReplyDeleteThose colours are a delight! I love winter sunset skies.
ReplyDeleteHilarious post! Loved all the added comments on bits and pieces in your life! I would be totally lost without my laptop! I tried it once by forced circumstance! Bad experience!
ReplyDeleteAnd adored your magical Manx sky too!
Hard to stay glum with a sky like that to look at. Glad the maxtor is working again. I've just paid £230 to get my images saved when my maxtor crashed. They are now safely on a western digital a far better drive in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteHope the manx fairies can resolve the laptop problem.
Perfect SWF.
ReplyDeleteThe colour is stunning !
ReplyDeleteThe colours are beautiful.
ReplyDeletefabulous sky. I hope you can continue your good news/bad news comments with some good news, like a working laptop. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteFor sure add your name :))
ReplyDeleteGlorious sunset.
Amazing each time I stop by your blog. Can no local business sponser you for a laptop. Photographs for a laptop? Just a thought. Take care and keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteIt is a magical sky and I do believe it was painted by faeries! Hope you get your laptop soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit to my SWF!
God is an amazing artist! Lovely, lovely colors in the wonderful sunset shot!
ReplyDeleteCards cheaper in America, eh? Sounds like we are in a recession or something... desperate for business.
Very, very beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteYou make the island look magical not the fairies.
ReplyDeleteThere was definitely a little magic in the air when you took this photo, yes!
ReplyDeleteThe prices for the TT have shot up too. We may give it a miss.
ReplyDeleteThe photo is fabulous, and I sympathize about the computer problems. Really, not much is worse it seems sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI love the combination of these two colors together. Reminds me of a popsicle I used to eat as a kid!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning! How very dramatic. And the colours ...!
ReplyDeleteI'm quite overwhelmed... did you notice? No, I thought not ;)
Gorgeous colors, love the tree silouetted!
ReplyDeletePretty sky, lovely colors, very rich! Mary :-D
ReplyDeleteOh, yes fairies and elves could definately live in there :D
ReplyDeleteReally nice.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing picture - that colour and composition!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty colors! Nice shot!
