Today we look through the Arch window
ABC - Wednesday
Brought to you by the letter A
The beach trip is just not going as planned. Rain, rain and more rain. We even have a very light dusting of snow atop the mountain. Not enough for a fabulous image for the blog though. So back to the beach and this week's letter which is A. I give you Arched Archives. No really difficult to work out why is it. Just in case it it. Those are "arches" and this is an "archive" image
I have shown you this place before as a black and white and as a colour version showing more of the pathway and less of the beach. Told you before this is a hidden gem. You have too walk a way along the beach to get here(the left arch leads to Ramsey) but it's really worth it. You can wade or jump the stream and head towards Maughold(right arch)well you could if it was safe. Remember tides come in as well as go out. Behind me leads the path up to one of the little glens we have here leading out of Ramsey and on the road to Douglas. There is a pretty picnic area up there and as I have said before a lovely place for the photographer. Very low light though so not forgiving for a snapshot. Rabbits have been known to do whatever rabbits do here, but reports of the phantom escaped wallaby of Ramsey are false! Or are they?
So that's it round 4, week 1. To join see the lady with letters Mrs Nesbitt and others too. The facebook experiment continues see you there. Click the logo. Just for fun.

For the first time, I am going to be the first has put a comment ;o)). nice photograph, these two windows are two eyes towards freedom.
Thank you Olivier. You jumped in before I could add my comment. Many thanks to everyone for my 300th post yesterday.
This is a good beginning of a new round of the alphabet even if it is an archived photo. Hopefully the weather will be more cooperative in the coming week.
I've spent many a hot summers day splashing about in that stream. Must have been a good few years ago though, we don't have hot summers anymore!!
How Manx am I? I was born here, I've lived here all my life. I'm Manx.
OOooo.... I love how you framed the beach through these arches... WOW... impressive photo!
lovely to peep through the arches - I bet there's been more rabbits doing what rabbits do behind these arches!
Well, i got Playschool!
That's a super photo.
It would be the vandalised window now though Liz
wouldn't it.
I love both the photo and the view! =o)
Beautifully framed. There's something marvellous about visiting a beach this time of year. So refreshing.
Love those arches!
Oh, forgot to say my ABC offering is at http://moreofme24.blogspot.com
A slightly belated congrats for your 300th post. I just realized that I missed my own 2 year blog anniversary. *strikes forehead*
Very nice A-post!
It seems a lovely spot!
I walk there often Babs, not as hidden as it was now you have shown it. Pretty framing.
I'm Manx.
Very interesting post you have here.. The photo is so great!
My "A" photos are posted here and here. Please hop on by if you have time. Happy Wednesday!
That is such an evocative image.
I love arches! No matter in nature or man made arches are just cool!
Oh..nothing like rain to spoil a trip..I am sorry about that. I do like these arches....
I love how you have been able to catch both the detail of wall and the scene on the beach. Very nice.
the arched windows to the vast ocean!
so beautiful
Love it, Baboosh! You have caught a slice of the Mediterranean here with the composition, color and light in this image. Pulls you right in. Beautiful!
Beautiful scenery. Wish this was a view from my windows.
Probably not very Manx -:) Then again ... perhaps. Congratulations on cresting the number 300. It's all down hill from here. Well, not really. Some days it's simply fun while others it's kind of like work. Trust all is well in your world, though I was shocked to see the £ at $1.40 today. Good time to visit, if only I could afford it.
Perfect arches and I don't mind if they are from the archives or not.
I love photos framed in arches. I often try it myself. You are planning to go to face book, aren't you? Well I am on facebook only because my daughters want me there, but I don't like it very much. It's chaotic at least where I am.
Im so thrilled you understand the geology of the NSW coast! Very impressive indeed.
I love the view through the Arch window. Good choise:)
I imagine a phantom behind these arches . Amazing shot!
Nice picture. Why can't you eat artichokes?
Very pretty archways! I love it!
Nice arcade or dice arcane.
just returned from vacation... happy 2009...
Nice arches - glad they are stone arches and not foot arches!
May you reach the letter Z in 2009!
Great shot, Babooshka. This place looks beautiful! Love the ocean view.
You put me in the right frame of mind.
Love looking through this archway & seeing the lovely colors!
Great Photo for today's theme.
Arches are often a good subject. I like this one because of the many layers it contains. A pleasure to look at. Congrats on your 300th! And still so good looking :-)
Excellent A post....
Tom
Great ABC A! It seems like å wonderful place to be :)
I hope for the sun to shine at your beach trip. No beachtrip here yet - lots of snow ;)
Yet another part of the island that we didn't see when we visited! I'll make a point of looking for those arches next time, though!
You are corageous to go for a fourth round! But you make a very good start! Arch, archives...! :-)
Will you reach the end of the alphabet before moving?
It makes me come over all Cockney and want to sing 'Underneath the arches...' lol
Very good photo, have a nice day !
Hello Mr Wiigger
Peter this round yes, but the next, possibly a no.
Thanks all.
Very nice shot. I love this walk through the arch.
A very interesting perspective! Are the arches part of an old ruin?
Congratulations on your 300th post!
You have some interesting perspective using window framing
This is great. There's always a desire to see what's on the other side...
ooh love this one too.
I love this! The arches and the colours are perfect!
I love this photo! Oh and congrats on your 300th post!
Wow - play school! I had completely forgotten about watching that until I saw your post - thanks for stirring the 'grey matter' into life :)
This is a really cool photo - I love the way arches frame the beach beyond. Nice capture!
Beautiful! The beach is one of my favorite places.
I'm afraid Playschool jumped out as me as well. A whole generation marked for life by that programme...
interesting composition, as if I am looking through a pair of glasses.
