THEME DAY LINES AND ABC - KEEKAL AND KIBBINAGH

The October theme days is lines. and many cdp bloggers will be joining in. No doubt we will all interpret the genre in different ways, some lateral some abstract. It is also ABC Wednesday so again I have combined the two themes.

This is part of The Laxey Wheel, in Laxey of course, not Ramsey, which I have covered in previous posts, is the largest working water wheel in the world, built in 1854. This part of the wheel features many shapes, textures and interjecting rods of metal and wood creating for me several varied layered lines.

Two Manx words for you.

Keekal - means peeping
Kibbinagh - means spiked

The lines I thought were both spiked and peeping out from behind each layer. Many words begin with K in the Manx Language, but these suited the lines theme best.

Try and visit someone you've never visited before. It's the ideal day to do it.

In the UK we say we have a twin town. I wasn't sure the Isle of Man towns would be twinned with any towns, but I am happy to say they are. I was even happier to note that it is a french town. As a lot of you know I am a huge lover of all things french and France in general, so for me to find out Ramsey is twinned with a French town is fantastic.

Like Ramsey it is a coastal town. It is a big tourist area, especially for those doing any sport like kite flying, bike riding, land surfing. A real family place. The beach sweeps round. As you can see by the images kindly provided by Jean-Pierre, a tourist administrator the houses might be different, but the sea view could be Ramsey. Well it could be if you took the structure off the beach.

I would like to thank on the Isle of Man, Sid and Jenny for the link today.
