Views of Castletown
It’s been difficult for me to keep up with this blogging, not because there isn’t anything to blog about, but there just doesn’t seem to be enough time in the day to do all the things I want to do. So in an effort to catch up a tad, I thought I’d continue with today’s blog by putting up the views of Castletown from on top of Castle Rushen that I meant to put up days ago. I tried to get a sort of panoramic view so I’ll try to put them in some sort of order. Ill start with this shot which I think this is looking northerly.
This is the view turning towards the right. Eh, I “think.” It might actually be on the left. . . It’s starting to get fuzzy now, wah. But definitely from on top of the castle. I found it interesting how the dwellings were build around the castle, and not in block rows as commonly seen here in the U.S. People actually live practically right up against the castle.
I seem to be missing a shot in between here (probably because I couldn’t get over to that parapet, but the Irish Sea is partly seen here.
Moving father to the right. Oop, Brian must have taken this shot as I see I’m bending over here looking at the view down below. We both passed the camera back and forth at this point, so I am a bit confused now which of us took which shot, not to mention I have quite a bit of somewhat duplicate shots from here.
Again more to the right.
And again, more to the right. I believe the building below with the arched doorway is one of the Isle of Man Bank branches. A couple doors down from that building to the left is a convenience store.
This is a similar angle taken from closer to the parapet as tad more of the castle below is seen better from on top.
And this is looking down in to the center of the castle.
Boy, I bet a lot of interesting characters have passed through this court. I wonder what kinds of sounds echoed through here?
Okay, better dash for now,
