Pretty place, I imagine that it looks on form in any weather.

Just missing the Dickensian figures. Fabulous!

Nice photo Eddie.
I can see the island nearly every day but have only visited once about 50 years ago.
Time I paid another visit.

It should all look very familiar then Roger, as it's only recently adjusted to the 1970's

Great picture, Eddie - thanks

Beautiful photo. We went to the Splyglass Inn in Ventnor my birthday dinner in around 2006, and the duck pool further up that road (towards Ventnor) was frozen over, surrounded by a light sprinkling of snow. i seem to remember locals telling us it was the first time in 12 years that it had happened. Beautiful.

I remember that - we stayed 3 nights in an hotel just up the road and left to the coast, a Groupon deal that unknown to us our daughter's in-laws had also used! Hotel was OK, but food was not.

Absolutely stunning picture with all the feature of old England on show

That's a cracking picture of a really pretty place. Been there many a time albeit in the summer, looks even more picturesque in the snow!

Great photo, good submission. Rare to see snow on "The Island." OK, I'm ready for Spring now.....

It's a pity you didn't share the credit with whoever you "copied" it from in your first post.

We've just returned from a weekend staying in Shanklin. The Village Inn in the picture does good food.

This is probably one of the nicest outdoor photographs I've seen recently. Credits to whoever took it (lucky sod).
