Had a walk around the paddock area of the TT Grandstand this afternoon and these two bikes caught my eye.

The images were captured on my Sony HX20V camera, resized and cropped  in Adobe Photoshop CS6.

Two pictures from Ballacraine in St Johns;

First image is the former Ballacraine Public House, now in private ownership and famous for the entry into the pub on his motorbike of George Formby in the TT film “No Limit”

The second image shows the colourful Ballacraine Farm which is always so brightly decorated and really depicts a true Manx Farm Cottage.
