Walk up to Albert Tower, for the view

                            Misty Mountains 


Short and sweet tonight. A walk out of town up through the Ballure Reservoir, cross the mountain road, continue to Albert Tower and watch the local mist known as Manannan's cloak roll over North Barrule. Then the walk back down through through the glens in time to catch a sunset. Not bad days photography work with the 
trusty Nikon

Kayagh

                                    Misty


For those of you who don't know, I blog from a small island called the Isle of Man, from the even smaller town of Ramsey. I thought it would be ideal to introduce a Manx word with each image on the abc round each week. Although most people speak English, the Manx language has been introduced and spoken again on the island after almost dying out. As a comeover, someone who came here from across, UK, this is as much of an education for myslef as it is for the reader. So word for today is Kayagh, meaning misty as it was the morning of this photo. One of the first I captured when I moved here, on a film camera. The jetty and lighthouse, looking the same today as it did 12 years ago. Only the camera has changed, but I intend to find that film camera and take it up again.

See post below the polar opposite of this photo. Taken the day before. Same beach, just looking to the right and land ahoy. No two days on the Isle of Man are the same weather wise. It's called bipolar weather. I kinda like it. I could do without getting a soaking every other day though wandering my office (the beach) for that must have photo. If you move to the island or visit, pack a raincoat and a sun cream. Trust me you'll need both. Jack Daniels filled hip flask, is entirely optional.
