MattLFC MattLFC Wiki Master Registered: 14th Aug 2004 Posts: 16177 Loc: Moreton/E.Port	Right... I took a photograph in Hoylake the other week. Well, a tell a lie, I took about 60 lol. Anyway enough of the small talk, basically, when I was walking back to me car, I noticed what I thought was some islands off the Wirral Peninsula, so I took a photo. Anyway, only just remembered about it now, but I have to say I aint got any idea what islands it is. It ISNT Hilbre Island, as I could see that clearly on this day, Hilbre Island would be way to the left of this shot, I actually have a photo of it. This photo is kind of looking out to the Irish Sea as opposed to towards Wales/Ayr/Talacre/Hilbre etc... I aint got a clue where this is, I thought it could be Anglesey but I very much doubt it can be seen from the Wirral, and I dont know, but now am thinking maybe the Isle Of Man... but I cant see that being visable from Wirral lol. Any idea's: Attachments Picture 070.jpg (35 views) Description: Original Photo Picture 070b.jpg (35 views) Description: Very low brightness, better to see the islands. _________________________ My MySpace \| My Bebo \| My Personal Blog \| My YouTube \| My Photography Website

MattLFC MattLFC Wiki Master Registered: 14th Aug 2004 Posts: 16177 Loc: Moreton/E.Port	Probably, but I dunno, cos Parkgate is a fair way in towards the left of Wirral, this is looking almost directly out towards Ireland. Do you have any idea's if it was the same islands? $\:\)$ _________________________ My MySpace \| My Bebo \| My Personal Blog \| My YouTube \| My Photography Website

MattLFC MattLFC Wiki Master Registered: 14th Aug 2004 Posts: 16177 Loc: Moreton/E.Port	They could be. I aint got a clue though, when I took a photo of Parkgate from Hoylake, I could see Wales quite clearly in the background, apart from the heat haze it was as clear as day. Ill see if I can find that photograph to show a comparison. These islands seem well well far away hehe. But im pretty sure Manx would be well over the Horizon, and Anglesey is like round the corner of Wales so to speak... _________________________ My MySpace \| My Bebo \| My Personal Blog \| My YouTube \| My Photography Website

MattLFC MattLFC Wiki Master Registered: 14th Aug 2004 Posts: 16177 Loc: Moreton/E.Port	If you look at Wales on this photo, compared to the Islands above its as clear as day. Also, you can see how near Hilbre is in front of it. Compared to the above photo, this would be looking like 70 or so degree's to the left of it.
