The start of a new day on our travels on the isle of man and the sun was shining.
We headed from our Northerly cottage down south to Peel.
Peel Castle (Cashtal Purt-ny-Hinshey in Manx Gaelic on the Isle of Man, was originally constructed by Vikings.
The origins of the castle date back to the eleventh century and are of Viking origin. The Castle is built on St Patrick’s island which is now connected by a small causeway. Pre-dating the castle are also remains of a Celtic monastery.
The castle was originally built of wood, but by the early fourteenth century most of the fortifications where converted to local sandstone.
The site continued to be used for both religious uses with the cathedral of St German developing inside the fortifications. The cathedral fell into ruin in the eighteenth century and today these are the ruins that can be seen on site.
The Castle continued to be used as a military stronghold up to 1860
Excavations of the grounds in the 1980’s reviled a 10th century grave of "The Pagan Lady" which included a fine example of a Viking necklace and a cache of silver coins dating from about 1030.

For the first time I was up early and just happened to see this outside my window. So I grabbed a sweatshirt, my camera ( very important) and my crocs and tore out the door in my pajamas, across the highway and stood beside the guardrail. I got this wonderful shot ( in my mind) plus others. This one is HDR but I don't think it would make much difference.
