fiery skies
Taken at an event called Ramsey Rocks. Each year the towns local bands take to the street adjacent to the harbour and entertain the locals for one night only Weather permitting that is, but even with a downpour, the bands can turn to the old faithful alternative venue, the local pubs. The end of the event is always marked with anther old faithful, a fireworks display. Last shot of the end of the Rocks, over the bridge and over for another year.

Mooragh Promenade
New Years day, Isle of Man and a a lot of people decide the best way to cure a hangover is to brave the the cold and take to the sea for a swim. I wasn't even brave (or idiotic, depending on your view) to either take to the coastal waters or photograph those hungover swimmers.
Park and swim, another island curiosity to add to the bucket list.
Pink Elephants on Parade
Ramsey Rocks, is the annual event that takes place during Ramsey National Week, Isle of Man. The harbour quayside road is closed to traffic, allowing people to wander freely to watch the temporary stage set up for the bands, and participate in everything from bull riding (not a real bull) to segway, bouncy castles to sumo suit wrestling. All the pubs are open, so, the adults can still have grown up drink while the kids head for the sweet stand, have too much then throw up on the bouncy pink elephant. A lot of the adults tend to see a few more pink elephants as the night draws to a close and the beer kicks in. An event for all the family, topped off with sunshine and fireworks to close proceedings.
