Manx Tholtan

 

Manx Tholtan

A tholtan is an old building which has become derelict . It could be a croft or farm building  and there are many on the island. I don't know a lot about this tholtan apart from it being a building on a deserted farm . All tholtans have a sense of atmosphere and this is no exception.

If you would like to see some more tholtans  please let me know. Enter a comment below or contact inkmann@manx.net  

Pen and ink 

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.

Down at the Strath

This is the Strathallen Terminus in Douglas, where the electric trams travel to the north of the island as far as Ramsey.

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
