Had a lovely walk around Ballaglass Glen today, the Bluebells are like a carpet and are just about to fade for this season. Also right next to the river is this old derelict Flax Mill and you can just about make out the Mills cog wheel The name Ballaglass could be translated to ‘Farm of the Stream’. The images were captured on my Nikon D80 DSLR Camera with a Nikon 18-105 F3.5/5.6 G AFS DX lens, cropped and resized in Adobe Photoshop CS6.

Another Stained Glass Window in St. Peter’s Church in Onchan
This stained glass window inside St. Peter’s Church in Onchan depicts Maughold Parish Church and the “Maughold Parish Cross” which is a 14th century St. Bees sandstone carving and is one of the earliest representations of the 3 Legs of Mann (apart from the 3 Legs inscribed on the Pommel of the 12th Century Manx Sword of State) it is also interesting to note which direction the 3 Legs are pointing! I have taken a number of images of the stained glass windows in St. Peter’s and I will add them to Manxscenes.com over the coming months. The image was captured on my Nikon S8200 Camera resized and cropped in Adobe Photoshop CS6 Feel free to make any comments either on this website by clicking the “Write comment” below or by logging onto my Facebook Page – Click on the…
A Walk Down To Port Mooar Maughold (With Ted)
We took Ted for a walk down to ‘Gob ny Portmooar’ today, this remote beach is just South of Maughold Head Lighthouse and Teds first distraction was this flock of sheep which were being rounded up by the farmer and his wife. Image 2 on was captured the headland rocks at ‘Gob ny Portmooar’ and looking up towards Maughold Head lighthouse.

“Christchurch” The Dhoon in Glenmona
This little church that is situated off the main coast road from Laxey to Ramsey at Glenmona is so hidden in the trees that you cannot usually see it as you drive past. As winter is now virtually upon us and the leaves have relatively dissapeared from the trees, I spotted this little church today and had to picture it! According to Frances Coakley’s “Manx Notebook” The first foundation stone was laid in June 1854 and the Church was consecrated in Decemeber 1855. The image was captured on my Nikon D80 SLR with a Nikon 18-135 F3.5/5.6 G AFS DX lens at 18mm and cropped in Adobe Photoshop CS5. Click on the image for a larger view!
