Pen and ink from Isle of Man,

 I  drew this pen and ink last year on the way to the Chasms, near Cregneash.

 Came back during TT week to find it has gone . Not sure of the circumstances but glad I was able to capture it before it went.

It is a great spot with amazing views towards the Calf of Man.

Does anyone know what it was used for?

The only way to fly

The only way to fly

 

I had to include this as nearly every evening the Herons give me a flypast over my roof. A large squawk and then a seamless glide to a nearby location for a nap.

 Just thought I would share this with you.

View towards Ballakelly Farm

Another Manx scene of a country road with farm buildings and the old Manx stone walls so unique to the island which I love so much

Bridge over the Lhen Trench

 Bridge over the Lhen Trench
The Lhen Trench in the northern part  of the Isle of Man. It passes under this bridge to the sea. This is such a fascinating spot. I've heard stories that the Vikings use to bring their boats up this narrow spot from the sea. 

Tholtan, Isle of Man

Another popular Tholtan on the island, but does anyone know where it is?  I have done several pen and ink sketches of this location which is one of my favourite spots on the island.

Fishing boats in Peel Harbour

Fishing Boats by The Sailors Shelter & Custom House

Another view of Peel Harbour. There's always something to see here - historic buildings, smallest car in the World, Kippers and Queenies to name a few.
