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.

Draken Harald Harfagre Arrives in Peel

 

The Draken Harald Harfagre ( Dragon Harald Finehair) visited Peel

a few years ago...not the first time a Viking Longship has arrived in Peel, although this time 

with a warmer reception than previous visits in the past.

A magnificent vessel which is named after the famous first King of Norway

King Harald Finehair. I believe this is the largest Viking replica ship still sailing at the time. 

Crowds of people turned up during the visit.

 The Viking association is engrained in our Manx culture with place names and our 

Parliament Tynwald formed by the Vikings and still operating.

Rainbow over Douglas Harbour

 Douglas Harbour 

Out for walk today, one minute fine and dry, next minute heavy downpour of rain followed by this rainbow, later a few hailstones thrown in for good measure then calm and dry.
