It was fun experimenting in different locations with the thick mist. This is Lonan Church (photographs taken yesterday) which is the “new” Lonan Church, built in 1834. The old Lonan Church (St Adamnan’s, which I’ve posted about previously) dates back to the 14th century.
These are the last of the misty photographs for now as I think I’ll move onto something more upbeat (elements permitting!).
The last 2 photographs are of the old Church (taken Feb 2013).
I woke up this morning to a dense sea mist covering the Island. Whilst taking a walk through Ballannette nature reserve and wetlands, at times the fog was almost too dense to have any good visibility.
Manannin’s Cloak is the name given by Islanders to this thick fog/mist, relating back to old Manx folklore.
These two made sure there wasn’t any peace on the lake for the other birds as they chased each other, cartoon-like across the water. It was great fun to watch!
I photographed these house sparrows yesterday afternoon on Laxey promenade. I like the texture of the old Manx stone of the ice-cream shop building where the sparrows live all year round.
I think this is a Redshank that I photographed on Douglas beach yesterday but please correct me if I’m wrong!
This morning’s Steam Packet ferry leaving Douglas Bay for the UK mainland.
