The white bridge

in black and white


The single file bridge, the aptly white bridge, straddling the Sulby River, Poyll Dooey Nature Reserve. Sky Hill in the distance. The bridge atm is need of a coat of paint, or perhaps it should be reamed the rusty bridge.

ALTERNATIVELY THE WHITE BRIDGE - MONOCHROME ODDSHOTS

Artsy Image Alert!

Monochrome Oddshots

Subject- The White Bridge

Genre - Creative Photography

Place - Poyll Dooey Nature Reserve,  Ramsey, Isle Of Man.

Photographer - Babooshka

Blog - Ramsey Daily Photo(no other blog or feed site)

You have seen the White Bridge before but not like this. For those who seem to have a problem with the concept of what is odd try using your imagination. Unless you usually look at the world at an angle then this image is odd. I always say the photographer thinks the image not the camera which is why you can have he most expensive camera in the world but if can't compose an image forget it. Brutal but that's how it is. This is my original creative image.

THE WHITE BRIDGE- MY WORLD

Over The White Bridge onto the Battle of Skyhill

Another Ramsey Landmark, and one of Babooshka's regular haunts is the aptly, if not imaginatively named White Bridge. The bridge is situated in The Poyll Dooey Nature Reserve and crosses over the Sulby river. The hill you can see on the left in the distance is Skyhill as in the battle which I have covered before in the viking posts and a My World post. It's basically a single file pedestrian only bridge, although bikes and motorbikes can be walked but not ridden across. It really is quite a narrow, sturdy but perfectly formed walkway. It's also another of many favourite places to photograph in Ramsey.

When looking for information about this bridge, again, I either came back to my own links or just found the vaguest reference, or uncorroborated info, which I need to confirm. Even images seemed limited. The Poyll Dooey Reserve is just the same. This is a specific area that has been set aside as a nature reserve/wetlands site for wildlife and yet it's almost as if it's some dirty little secret the island is ashamed of. To say I am exasperated by this is an understatement. I have a few ideas where to find text to post with my photos I regularly take of this place, so I will elaborate more soon. Nothing more fustrating than coming back to your own blog.

If you take the Bridge away and look up to Skyhill you will be looing upon the same view he Viking would have seen when they arrived marching towards Skyhill an onto battle. No skyscrappers to osbcure the beautiful veiw here.


MY WORLD and thank the skywatch gang once again for another inspired idea.

THE WHITE BRIDGE RAMSEY - MONOCHROME MONDAY ODDSHOTS

Monochrome Monday
Oddshots monday

For a while now I've been with Oddshots Monday. A new Neme By Aileni called Monochorme Mondays has started and yes I want to do both as B&W is right up my street. The daily photo though is a single image( mostly) so I 've had the idiotic notion to combine the two concepts with one image. So please be prepared for some lateral thinking and don't think in a literal sense all the time. Here we go.

The White Bridge Ramsey, straddles the Sulby River, deep within Poyll Dooey nature reserve.
Nothing odd so far it's a bridge and it's white. This is the lateral bit. It's always shot from the other side looking side onto the bridge with the hills as a backdrop. No one ever shoots from this side of the riverbank, looking down the bridge. Even I have only shot it this way recently. So there you have it a monochrome oddshot. Don't forget not everything in life is black and white, but shades of grey, and odd is a concept open to interpretation like everything else.
