I had many attempts at taking shots of this sculpture - the shadow is what I like so much about this shot.
In the cultural area Harris Promenade, Douglas, the sculpture was unveiled on Thursday 23rd September 2021.

The bronze sculpture, depicting two dancing figures, has been created by local resident, internationally renowned and award winning sculptor John Mulvey.
Commissioned by the Isle of Man Arts Council for £47,023.60 - the preciseness of the amount made me smile.
When John Mulvey received the commission from the Isle of Man Arts Council to create a sculpture for the Cultural Area his first thoughts were music, dance and theatre. With these thoughts in mind he created The Dancers doing the Tango.

Spotted this very rare specimen of Manx Wildlife on a remote country road early in the morning.......if anyone knows what it's called I would be grateful :-)
Played a little with the image to create a more artistic texture and colour that retains the key elements but softens the details of the original
This unique locomotive dates from 1885 and is the only engine belonging to the Isle of Man Railways to have been built by Dübs and Company, of Glasgow; originally she was purchased by the Manx Northern Railway to tackle the steep gradients of the Foxdale line she was ideally suited to the job. She is an 0-6-0 engine - unusually as the rest of the engines are 2-4-0. She is now back in her Northern railways livery, and with her Northern Railways number 4, having spent some time renumbered 15 as part of the merged stock.
This picture was taken when she hauled the Mothering Sunday Special to Port Soderick - pulling only 3 coaches, on board which we were served with sparkling wine and warm canapés!
