RAMSEY, ISLE OF MAN - SKYWATCH

Poyll Dooey - Sunset Surprise(not really)

Good news a borrowed laptop for a few weeks. Bad news it's behaving very strangely.

A quick sunset over the nature reserve from about a month ago. Not much else to say tonight.
Going to grab a coffee and come back and see if I can get to grips with this laptop. Still converting and uploading images one as and when which is painstaking and boring.


Why is the line break double spaced or cramped I don't know, but's its very annoying. Any ideas anyone.


The concept was DOT'S, the next host WIGGERS WORLD the guardians of skywatch are Klaus Sandy Ivar Wren Fishing Guy Louise

    At least you have a laptop to use. Great hue in the sky. We had beautiful low lying clouds this afternoon and I forgot my camera! Your skies are very colorful for sure, we only have blue, white and grey. We have red, pink and orange during hurricanes and storms.

    This is one of those sites which are a must to visit every week. Amazingly enough you produce excellent shots week after week even if you seem to have a lot of computer troubles lately. Whish I could help but I seem to be falling of the band wagon myself lately with all the new developments. Anyway I hope you have a nice and relaxing holiday season and thanks for posting these lovely images for us to see every week.

    The line spacing is a formatting issue. It depends on what software you are using. Is it Mac or PC. Mac I dont know. PC I assume your problem is in word. If so go to Format,Paragraph, Indents and spacing.
