Reflections on life at “De Witte Wand”…

Manx Wallpapers

The background of the Desktop screen on my Windows PCs is generally set to display landscape themes. There’s a whole range of them, and other themes, available to download and use.

Today, I noticed from a Microsoft blog, that there is now a landscape theme devoted to pictures from my birthplace, the Isle of Man. Taken by Mark Wallace, there are some suitably moody shots of Peel Castle, the ruins of St. Trinian’s church, the Calf of Man and more.

They’ve been installed and serve as a reminder of my original home.

    It is a beautiful place to call home!

      Some of my photos of the island (taken over a period of 50 years) are in this Flickr set:

    Never been there, but the pictures certainly are beautiful. Is there a Manx cat (or any other breed) in your house 🙂

      I’m afraid we’re dog people – we have two Labradors, and receive only occasional visits from the cats from the farms around us. No Manxies, though.
