I love looking at photos that others have taken in their part of the world! It does look cold though….!

  It was cold on the day I took the surfing photographs but normal summer temperature averages 21 C. The sea is always cold though! Good luck with your challenge.

Thanks for visiting my blog “Eyes to Heart” and liking my post “Waiting for Snow …” … I visited the Isle of Man a long time ago (very long time ago as a teenager) and, from what I can remember, liked it very much. 🙂 … Happy Holidays! …

Good idea to take an open college photography course and post your photos online. I’ll look into doing that.

  Yes, it’s a great idea if you find a course that allows you to submit work this way. I just use my blog for my personal photographs now so I must update my about page!

I enjoy ‘blogs of place’. Isle of Man is intriguing to me. I too live near the sea, but it’s an inland freshwater sea, Lake Michigan. Thanks for visiting. I decided to follow you to see how life is on your island.
