First snow of winter on the Isle of Man

These pictures were taken on the Isle of Man (19th Nov 2004) We don't get much snow here because of our climate and i think it is to do with the fact we are on an island. The Isle of Man is situated between the Uk and Ireland. I hope you enjoy my snowy views.

Loved all your photos!
Di, I just saw the movie about Beatrix Potter and noted some of it was filmed at Isle of Man . . . so I visited via your worldisround articles. Great how you captured in all seasons! What a wonderful place to live. I hope to be able to see it for myself someday.

Thank you again for sharing!

Snowy Sky
Di, Love this shot. The contrast between the hill and the sky is wonderful. Looks like you needed a blazing fire after that excursion.
