I reproduce below six of my earlier pen and wash sketches – all my own interpretations of visited scenes from the British Isles
Quayside at Peele on the Isle of Man West Coast
Above and below are five of my sketches resulting from my visit to the Isle of Man in 1999. Titles will appear as you hover your mouse pointer over the picture. Larger versions of these can be seen by clicking on any one of them . . .
… and here are nine of my photographs to give a better view of some of the island’s special places . . .
Heathers near Point of Ayr, the island’s most northerly point
Ramsey Harbour – north-east of the island
Manx (tail-less) cat at Ballalheanagh Gardens
Laxey Water Wheel
Statue of Mariners at Peele Harbour
Maughold Head on the east coast
Niarbyl on the West Coast
Cregneash Village – Living Museum – much of the film ‘Waking Ned’ was filmed here in 1998.
Memorial to the loss of the brig ‘Lily’ in 1852 … at the Calf of Man – southernmost point of the island
Politics. Humour. Stories. Philosophy. Poetry. And all in randomness within this universe and the next, because why not?
This blog is my creative outlet where I can share my photos, my travels, my random thoughts and a bit of myself.
We're all human here, don't ever forget that. Human-Kind, be both.
