Life's a beach
Mooragh Beach is on of the two beaches here. As you can see it is part pebble/shingle and part sand. It's not a beach you would expect to find swimmers and sunbathers. You do find like I said yesterday dog walkers down here and occasionally horse and riders trotting along the beach. As you can see it's quite a view you get on a clear day.
To the left is Mooragh Promenade. Behind me out of shot would be the harbour jetty, bridge and town. To the right is obviously the sea, but as we are and island you would expect to happen upon land too. You do, England. On a even clearer day you can make out the landscape of the Lake District. I have many photos of the outline of the hills of England across from Ramsey. Looking north the bay sweeps round to the promontory known as Shellagh Point. More of those Manx words. It appears Shellagh means willow and has also become used as a girl's name. I'm not sure those using the name know of it's origin. I wonder if anyone has another meaning or anyone named Shellagh
I haven't finished with beach just yet. Like the wood will shall drift by there often and you can walk virtually with me, if you want or join me on facebook if your'e on.
To join or check others in the neme click Skywatch and the team will help you. I came across an image that is a beauty but not in our friday club. Take a peek it could be a great inclusion for skywatch. So many wonderful images out there aren't part of the club and would be perfect.
Oh, I'd love to be there right now, it's freezing over here.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo
ReplyDeletelovely walk!
Aloha-
Incredible photo. I love the colors here.
ReplyDeleteNice Shot!
ReplyDeleteRich colors on a rocky beach with an amazing sky.
ReplyDeleteOh boy...sunshine and a place without snow and ice..beam me up Scottie....
ReplyDeleteThis is a spectacular beach capture. The blue of the sky is so pleasantly vibrant. I love it, and I love the casual feel of the clouds overhead. The lines... all terrific!
ReplyDeleteWooooooow!
ReplyDeleteWonderful, I could just walk there with bare feet just in the water.
ReplyDeleteThe sky is spectacular!
ReplyDeleteune plage sans fin, qui se noie dans le ciel.
ReplyDeleteendless beach, drowning in the sky.
The photo invites me to take a walk there. If only I could! It's been such a harsh winter for us in the NE U.S.
ReplyDeleteHappy Sky Watch.
I love this photo, Babooshka. The sky is really beautiful. It looks like a summer day!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a wonderful beach, and the sky above is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love any beach!
ReplyDeleteYou can see forever here! Great photo.
ReplyDeleteLove the perspective and what a lovely clear day.
ReplyDeleteI am just updating the facebook group and editing lots of pics. Busy.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the virtual beach stroll..
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful Babooshka! I love the beach rocky or sandy :0)
ReplyDeleteThe clouds in the sky are beautiful, but so is the entire scene. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous Babooshka, simply beautiful :) Happy swf!
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot of interesting textures in that photo!
ReplyDeleteHey Babs, What a view.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo and what a view. And here I am stuck in winter.
ReplyDeleteWow that would be really nice to take a walk on right around sunset. Great shot. =)
ReplyDeleteJust love it!! A clouded ceiling!!
ReplyDeleteAll right - the big pictures are back - hope the thief troubles are behind you.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors and the long stretch of beach. I would think there would be a lot of people strolling on a sunny day.

A beautiful scene!
ReplyDeleteNow that is one awesome sky. And beach. Looks like it might've been a little chilly at the time, but as I always say, there's never a bad day for the beach.
ReplyDeleteExcept maybe in a hurricane. But you probably don't get so many of those, huh?
Awesome shot!
great shot...love the colors.
ReplyDeletehave a wonderful weekend.

Wow, what a unique beach. Looks great with the beautiful sky in the background. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteCheers!

The perspective in this photo is interesting. Everything seems to be pointing at a tiny white building in the distance. ;-) The sky feels low...or is that just my imagination. Something about this photo is magical to me, not sure what. I really like it.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty
ReplyDeletethe beach looks to go on forever
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! That's one awesome awesome shot!
ReplyDeleteMy SWF photos are here and here. Hop on by if you have the time. Happy weekends.
I love how the beach has different strips of color and the sky has so much going on too. Very beautiful and interesting.
ReplyDeleteWhat a big beautiful sky over the beach and jetty. Glad the weather has improved for your beach walks.
ReplyDeleteThe sky is beautiful, but then so is the beach. I'm ready for a trip to the ocean.
ReplyDeleteI don't care how cold it is it's amazing.
ReplyDeleteI love beaches - yours seems to go on forever. Great photo, perfectly balanced with earth and sky!
ReplyDeleteWonderful and complex mix of colors in this photo - water, sky, grass, sand, rocks, buildings... a feast for the eyes.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bright blue sky with the happy looking beach, Babooshka. Happy SWF!
ReplyDeleteGood SWF picture. I didn't get around to posting one this week. I was still covering other themes. But I love to SWF.
ReplyDeleteTerrific artistic photo with the the converging lines to the horizon drawing you into the photo. It's the sort of photo you expect to see in a published collection of artistic photos.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful coastline. Postcard perfect photo.
ReplyDeleteBabooshka: It looks like a fun beach to walk and see the neat sky over the water.
ReplyDeletegorgeous
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful composition. I love all your shots but this one jumps out at me. I think its that strong diagonal and the wonderful blues of the sky and sea.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to go for a walk with you there! Nice shot!
ReplyDeleteI like the layers of color from the water to the grass.
ReplyDeleteI love the beach. Yours is so different from ours in south Alabama and florida but lovely in its own special way. I want to see more please.
ReplyDeleteV
Hi Ms. Babb's, your sky is fine above that beach. Is it in Ramsey?
ReplyDeleteWe just returned, there were a couple on our boat from IOM but I didn't get to chat with them. Mrs. Jim met them and that is about it. They didn't tell her where they lived.
Happy SkyWatching, it's been a while. Today my sky is one from Florida, taken from the boat (QM2).

Beautiful beach with a nice view and weather. Have a nice weekend. I am spending my weekend preparing and waiting to welcome the coming chinese new year. :)
ReplyDeletewow! the colours are so beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice scene.
ReplyDeleteI like the perspective here very much. And the colors. Beautiful blue and warm tones on the ground.
Lovely combination.
Happy weekend! :)
Wonderful sky and beach!

ReplyDeleteHave a great week.

ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful scene of the beach & sky.
ReplyDeleteGreat seaside shot.
ReplyDeleteFabulous photo. Love the lines, the colours, the angle. Brilliant. Can you explain how to achieve this type of shot. I am assuming a very wide angle lens. I just love it.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pic of lovely sky and place!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty.
ReplyDeleteThere's really nothing like the British seaside...love it, love it!
ReplyDeleteI'd definitely enjoy walking along this.
Great perspective, the beach seems to go on and on.
Magnificent vista!
ReplyDeleteUau!!!Very beautiful!!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you will spend the weekend under a beautiful sky!!
ReplyDeleteEven I would walk with pleasure on this beach ! usually I am very lazy when it comes to walking !
ReplyDeleteThat's such a nice shot. Gorgeous blue sky! Thanks for visiting.
ReplyDeleteWonderful to see the clourful beach and that blue sky with the fluffy white clouds above it.
ReplyDeleteOverhere it's been dark and grey all week ...
I love the layers of different material and colours of the shingle and sand on the beach set against the blue of the sky. Great shot.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful beach shot and what a lovely clear, blue sky! Happy Friday!!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful scenic and sky.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful expanse of beach and sky!
ReplyDeleteYou've captured a wonderful sky here... BRAVO!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have been kind to the island this week. Does that mean we are due for the ugly shots soon? The mono below is sublime.
ReplyDeleteEasy to see from the angle, framing and picture perfect timing that you indeed are a professional.
ReplyDeleteThose clouds are simply divine. I enjoyed your other beach shots too. Especially for the colours in Ramsey on the rocks.
Beautiful shot. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThat is one beautiful photo. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteA desert beach with a so blue Sky, so rare, I'm arriving right now, Babooshka.
ReplyDeleteThat's a big sky! Took me half an hour to scroll down 86 comments to leave my own! ;-)
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful picture with great depth.

ReplyDeleteHey Chicklette ... that's just plain gorgeous. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteLaxey is a prettier beach, but hands down this is awesome.
ReplyDeleteThat sure is a wonderful photo! Love that composition and the mix of colors, my eyes are saying YES.
ReplyDeleteCool m'lady b.
ReplyDelete100 Comments+ 1 from me... Thats too less for this wonderful pic... and yeah, it resembles the pic that i posted today on http://karwar-daily-pic.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteWow! Everybody else said it all---anyway nice sky. MB
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see England from a distance! ;-)
ReplyDeleteGreat mix of clouds and wonderful sand colour. Excellent!
ReplyDeleteI love pictures like these - a great wide angle view of the sand, the sea & the sky. Great cloud formations too
ReplyDeleteVery interesting reading. I'm curious about the reddish colored sea weed or whatever it is, in the photo. Is it perhaps red drift algae? We were troubled with that here on Sanibel Island, FL a little over a year ago. It was very annoying at times.
ReplyDeleteI would like to find something funny from that beach right now.
ReplyDeleteWow...this is a great shot....it really shows it off......
ReplyDeleteNice composition, perspective and skies.
