A river runs through itYes cryptic titles and cloak and dagger shenanigans greet you here for this weeks peek at the sky. It's not the Atlantic of course, just the little biddy Sulby river meandering gently. All we be revealed soon, but not just yet. Before I wade in headlong into unknown waters, or shall we say Virgin territory like the uncharted waters and previously not captured angle above. I need to be as clear and calm as this image. You know a bit of(shall we throw in some annoying corporate speak) blue sky thinking, and bottom fishing for those thinking outside the box. Now if we just add water, get our ducks in a row, behind the curve we may be able to float that balloon and land that plane on the right track.
Relax and wander up the little path on the right into the nature reserve or into town. Up to you which way you go. For me the only way is up, up and away in well possibly a beautiful balloon would be nice, but that is maybe verging on the ridiculous along the still waters of the river. No planes, trains and automobiles for me just plain sailing upstream on a sailboat or maybe a yacht would be nice, destination my own private island at the peak of this image. Now that would be real Virgin territory and not at all original, erm unlike this photo shall we say.
Check out this link here about the blog. It's totally mad and it's not me.

like the sulby and your interesting post. beautiful capture.
have a lovely weekend.
Beautiful picture. The water is crystal clear and very still.
Very beautiful photo dear Babooshka!
A colourful scene - a pleasure to watch. Peace and calm.
PS Dare I venture a guess at a polarization filter?
Mmmmm makes me want to float down this one! Gorgeous shot! Read a lot of mystery in this post! I'm tuned in! Have a great weekend, Babooshka!
I read about it in the other place. You go girl and get em.
It's quite serene out there. The reflection is very very nice addition.
Just beautiful capture, and yes, just dream on, without dreams the journey ends for unknown waters.
Beautiful scenery! Lovely reflections, a calm scen to look at. :)
nice shot...ready to throw my line in...
Am breathing out as I write this... calllllmmmmm
Beautifully relaxing view of this river setting.
I really liked your commentary... I read the one below about Yiarn... fun to read... I Googled it to read more about it and your post comes up on the first page.
*A wonderful weekend to you*

Lovely shot!
I wouldn't mind floating along the peaceful waterway.
The reflections are super.
My post is here: Carletta’s Captures.
Funny, punny, full of mystery, and wonderful.
Virgin' on a dogfight eh? Maybe my Spitfirecan be put into service.
Swinging bridge be darned! ;-)
Gorgeous scenery!
I just love the reflections and the twisted feeling in this shot.
It is moody and calming at the same time..
Wonderful shot!
Wat'sup B? Calm like the river.
Alright... I'm totally -- and I mean that in every sense -- confused. The video? Ummm. All I can say is... well... WTF?
But congratulations on what is quite possibly a record for cliche density in your opening paragraph. I'm impressed.
Oh, and a kick butt photo too -- as always.
Such a beautiful scenery of perfect tranquility. I can see the reflection of the sky in the water. Beautiful!
Ok, you got us all hooked on your hook, you just need to reel us into your intriguing web. Oh, I'm curious. I'll just have to be patient.
I just checked out Facebook and the link. I am telling you this as your friend, be careful. You are 100% in the right but think about who you are taking on this time. I understand why you are spitting feathers, but you are one person against a huge organization. You can't win them all and you could end up in a nasty stand off. Maybe let this one go and concentrate on the small fry. We all know you are right but you know that doesn't always mean you will win. Please be careful.

Beautiful soothing waters! A dreamy landscape! But often, as the cliche warns, still u nknown waters run deep with hidden, treacherous snags!
Stephen- I know you are right, but you no me and I can't let it go. They either pull the image or pay me. It's theft and I don't care how big a company they are. I will be careful though.
This looks like somewhere I'd like to be. Beautiful photograph. I think a kayak and a light pack and heading into the unknown would be what I'd like to do. Especially if I could pull up on the bank, jump on a hot air balloon for a while then back down to my kayak which miraculously landed where the balloon came down.
Tread very carefully if you intend to do what I think you will do. I will speak to a lawyer friend and see how the ground lies and let you know.
Sublime.
Bucolic! Serene! Outstanding!
Here by way of a link passed on by a friend on Facebook. I know a copyright lawyer. I have passed your details onto and a brief overview. US law maybe different to UK but laws are laws right! Your photos are amazing.
A beautiful scenery and love the sky reflected in the water. And you can really write very well. I wish I could write as well as you. Have a nice weekend.
I love this!! Beautiful!
Here's to the secret handshake! Here here.
That is one peaceful image!
Anna :)
This makes me feel I could float forever just staring up at that clear blue sky
It's a very peaceful scene, unlike what may happen to some thief. You go girl. And up in a balloon sounds delightful.
That shot is nothing short of perfect.
Have a great weekend.

So serene.
Beautiful shot as always.
Have a nice weekend.
Regina
Splendid scenery!
the sulby looks serene and inviting, but i'm looking forward to the next instalment concerning the Virgin territory
Stunner of the photograph, Babooshka. You'll find Mark Cavendish on Monte C. today.
The image is gorgeous (as usual!) and the scenery so peaceful but I am so distracted by your intriguing hints! What are you up to, Babooshka?! :)
Its a sanctuary for those who simply want to relax...lovely!
Hilda. Me up to something Noooooooo! It's naughty people who thieve images and don't pay for usage that need to be on their toes this morning. I'm coming for you.
Jilly Say hello to Mark, well wave as he cycles by.
Peaceful.
brilliant blues!
I do enjoy the peaceful scene - and the words :)
Oh, is that really on the Isle of Man? I was in the Cumbria fells yesterday and could see it as clear as crystal. In fact my mobile phone was locking on to an IoM signal and I even got a welcome note!
Beautiful photo and all the more so reading your story behind the view. Thanks for adding interesting scenes to Sky Watch Friday.
I really enjoy visiting your site. The entries are always very interesting and the pictures first rate.Thank you.
This weeks capture is full of pensive mood and tranquillity.
Have a great weekend.
This is so Zen!I suddenly want to meditate and search within myself for the direct intuitive apperception of Buddha nature........nah... snore.... I want to go water skiing there instead!
PS. Whoever made that video is a real basket case! Did she even pronounce triskelion correctly? Somebody should really confiscate her webcam!
Lol, good use of corporo-babble!
I agree, what a peaceful Zen scene!
Have a nice weekend!
what a peaceful scene! Such a nice day for a photo shoot.
Thanks for the visit!
Have a nice weekend!
I walk my dog down this here most days. Ramsey town is ugly in the centre but we do have some pretty open spaces. Should have seen this when it was a landfill sight.
Would make a lovely postcard. Why don't you put a calender together. I'd buy. Good luck with the thieves.
Beautiful skies neatly reflected off the water in the river. Well taken.
Have a good weekend.

Just one more reason I've always dreamed of living on a House Boat...lovely shot of a quietly meandering river! Congratulations on Post of the Day nomination from David!
Sandi
Ah, Peace like a River!
A most enjoyable place on a beautiful day.

Hey POTD. Well done again kidda.
Beautiful sky. I am feeling more peaceful already!
Clear and calm view. Beautiful shot.

As always you never disappoint.
Such a pristine looking river!
May all the dreams you persue come true,
Merisi
Congratulations on David's Post of the Day Award! :-)
To anon, many thanks but is it possible just to include a name in your text. Just be being over cautious as skywatch does attract the spammers.
Lovely shot!
My Skywatch
the suspense is unbearable!...OK, I shall stare into your beautiful picture just to try and remain calm than!
GREAT reflection shot! Beautiful!
Very pretty shot, love the reflections. Good luck with the fight.
What a magical place. I can imagine faeries, elves and goblins living around here

What a lovely peaceful shot.
It makes me long for the holidays.
Gorgeous... the river water like glass... completely reflective and transparent all at once. Masterful.
This scene is so peaceful and calming .... breathtakingly beautiful, B,.
Fantastic ,lovely and beautiful !! This is great..Unseen Rajasthan
Gorgeous!
So clear and peaceful.
I've been reading all the comments now, to try to understand the essence here...
I hope that justice will win.
Your pictures are your belongings!!!
Have a great weekend! :)
Oh, I loved this peaceful image. Excellent post. Congratulations on the mention at the POTD.
I love a good mystery, Babooshka. I look forward to learning more.
Neat river photo with lovely reflections!
Babooshka: I simply love this capture of the reflecive sky on the stream. I did a lot of stream fishing as a youngster and always loved it.
Very cryptic message today. Have you been reading too many spy thrillers?
Good river, surprised that there's so few ripples.
What is going on?! A secret handshake!!
Wow, that looks like such a beautiful area and the water is so clear!
What a refreshing image to view, Babooshka!
Oh, I can just imagine myself in a rowboat on that river....so serene..so calming..
Very cool shot !!
Love your friend and the handshake.. :-)
Somebody stole an image of yours? You go get 'em. That is theft, pure and simple!!
I'm all for standing up for my rights and going where angels fear to tread. The hubby reckons I'll get shot one day :-)
I guess this is what it means when they say 'Picture Perfect'. And the words intriguing.
Congrats for POTD nomination.
Getting immersed in th river, I hardly noticed the sky...and there it was. Love your shot but your intimate knowledge of corporate speak shocks me...
It's a nice place to rest. I'm in no hurry,but let's see what comes next.
An inviting view. Your text is probably fun too but between brackets : I can't read white on black (it gives me a long after image).
What a wonderful place... I miss Summer!

I'd love to go walking with you!!!
I'd hold your hand.
this is beautiful shot and look like to paradise.
Pretty but it is boring in Ramsey. Only old ladies and dogs in the park.
Lovely scene. I like the composition.
That's more like it. Picture perfect.
