The Douglas Project Day 7 - 20/10/10

Bring me the priest...

So I headed the furthest away I could get from the office in an hour. This took me to Douglas Head via The Exorcist Steps.

Now I name them The Exorcist Steps because they remind me of the ending of The Exorcist and you could quite easily recreate that scene here.

Douglas Head has some mad stuff which I will explore further at a latter date but for now I just shot some vistas back toward Douglas with some snow clouds forming on the mountain.

The Douglas Project Day 6 -19/10/10

Turner-Esque Sky

I spent all lunch in the Sea Terminal again discussing the finer details of Sail and Rail and the inability of the Steam Packet company to fix their computers.

After work I was hustling around the prom and took these snaps of the Ben-My-Chree coming into dock against a Turner-Esque skyline with some added Tower of Refuge. There is also the makings of a single rainbow in there...

The Douglas Project - Day 5 14/10/10

Morning at the Marina

As I had a driving lesson at lunch (when I say lesson I drove a guy to Castletown and back and paid him £25 for the pleasure!) todays pictures were taken on the way into work. They depict Douglas Marina.

The Douglas Project - Day 4 13/10/10

Sunken Garden

The seafront in Douglas has numerous sunken gardens that go back to the Victorian heyday. They are still well maintained and are instrumental in any success the town has in Britain in Bloom. They are also a popular place for workers to spend lunch. I spotted Stuart 'The Brand' Baggs tucking into a Boots meal deal here only the other day (Obviously didn't win The Apprentice).

Again I was busy running errands so I had a very brief period to photograph the various flowers in their twilight hours before they succumb to winter.

The Douglas Project - Day 3 12/10/10

Signs at the Sea Terminal

Someone needs to be help accountable!


For dogs with insecurities

After sorting a load of errands out I had about 5 minutes today to take any pictures and found myself in the Sea Terminal where a badly scrawled sign pointed out a fridge was not in use. Someone had felt the need to questions this. With a double question mark...all the way.

Outside was a rather strange hook for securing dogs on.

The Douglas Project - Day 2 11/10/10

Views from the Prom on a sunny October Day

I didn't get much time to explore today as I had to see my 'payroll specialist'. I did manage to get 10 minutes on the prom with the sunshining and the seagulls trying to steal my lunch.



This mad little buggy is apparently how the Douglas Corporation get around. These boys are the laziest, most sinister people on the Isle of Man.
