LAXEY BEACH BLUES - SKYWATCH


Red White and the Blues





As I am still sifting through the Laxey Blues Festival images.I mean no time to go hunt the skies tonight for sunsets and crepuscular clouds(Dewdrop, go see for awesome storm chasing images, will know what I'm talking about) We got clouds, we got blue skies, we got a flash of red to spice up the colour and even got a pebble sand beach. That'll do for you won't it tonight? Just be grateful in wasn't another Swinging bridge image. I mean we only had that yesterday and even I would suggest another one today would be a tad like overkill.

  3. Laxey (Salmon island?) - I enjoyed th way you had kept the details in the foreground and led the eye into the picture. No to mention the light to the right.

  7. Laxey is salmon? Like lox! Cool, I've learned something.

    Beautiful dramatic clouds. How was the festival? We also spent the weekend at the festival - I got a few shots, but was too busy listening to do much serious shooting.

  9. Laxey is pretty as Ramsey, if not prettier. More Facebook images. Can't wait for more rock and blues.

    Weather has phenomenal power anywhere... and like you said, can destroy in no time at all.

  23. Never mind the pebbles, I see myself chill out on that beach with some shandy or cider & black (yes I keep up with the Polish stereotype and did my time serving in UK bars)

    ReplyDelete
  24. Nice and nautical! And is that some brave soul in the water, or just a rock?

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  28. I'm emailing you a link about the TT.
    One of your photos is being used with no name check to you but your copyright is visable on the photo.

  34. Something so beautiful about clouds rolling in over the beach.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Composition has great visual interest, as does the color scheme for the Yanks out here!

    ReplyDelete
  36. I love this shot. It's funny because the first think I saw was the red and white on the right (hmmm a rhyme) and then kind of expanded out to the whole glorious shot. So nice.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Nice low clouds formation.
    Great composition that include the red-white pole.

    ReplyDelete
  38. this is a gorgeous composition. the clouds at the top of the frame look just overhead, close enough to touch..
    lovely!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Wonderful shot.It is so beautiful sky. Great photo!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Still a fine sky to watch (and great photo), even though it's a few kilometers out!

    ReplyDelete
  41. I crave beach space like this! Brighton is always so busy especially around this time of year. Serene yet dramatic picture.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Great shot of the cloud, it almost have a three dimensione filling.

    ReplyDelete
  43. And I'm off and running on this stretch! Nice!

    ReplyDelete

  46. Love the shot..

    I like that little touch of red amongst the grey and the looming clouds :-)

    ReplyDelete
  47. Lots of fluffy clouds or are they rain clouds. Picturesque

    ReplyDelete
  48. I love the blue color of the water compared to the blue color of the sky.
    This is beautiful.

    ReplyDelete
  49. It's a beautiful sky whereever it's from!

    Happy Friday!!

  50. Nice shot, missed you on My World this week.

  51. Great shot. I've been taking photos like this, this afternoon on the Isle of Wight. Beach, blue and grey skies. Very moody. I thought of you a couple of nights ago when Martin Clunes was in Douglas and other parts of Isle of Man for his Islands series. Did you see? Have never been, although am originally from the north (other side of Pennines though). It looks like a great place to visit.

  52. Wow. The light in the clouds is so beautiful, especially over the stony grey on the beach. Love it!

    ReplyDelete
  53. Great landscape here, too, and what a beach ;)
    Happy swf, weekend, next week, ;))
    Hugs, Maria

  54. I like this one..nobody around. I could see me picking up a pebble and relaxing! Nice-
    Aloha

  55. The beach looks so quiet and lonely. Is it cold there right now or is this spot always so empty. It's certainly a "mood" shot.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Hi Babb's, you have another pretty sky picture again. I think we saw the LAXEY BEACH when we went for our hour lunch walk waiting for the train to go back.
    I have a French sky today, there isn't a cloud in sight for this one. Other pics do have French clouds.
    Happy SkyWatching, :-)
