Island Stories: Old Providence, Colombia - BBC News
Old Providence is one of the few places in the Caribbean that has not been over-run by tourism. It's a place where people are always listening to music and where nothing gets done in a hurry. The BBC's Hernando Alvarez met some of the people who live on the island.

Fun Flying in the Isle of Man
5th May 2012, with Sam Kidd. We had planned to fly to the Paris area to visit a friend of mine and take his son flying, but the weather through the Channel turned out to be crap for this weekend, and so we looked for a direction to fly with better weather...
The Isle of Man was beautiful - unusually clear blue skies, with views from the middle of the Irish Sea across to Ireland, Scotland, England *and* Wales! The island itself is great - we paid a taxi driver to drive us around the famous TT motorcycle race track, which takes place on public roads, and saw the main towns including Douglas, Laxey and Ramsey.
Having landed at Andreas airfield - very stony runways but otherwise a good place to land - we stayed at the nearby Sulby Glenn Hotel recommended by the guy at the airfield: very good choice, having won Pub of the Year several times over the years, and it has decent food, good rooms, and nice beer. But this Saturday night it also had The Singing Cowboy... a sad old bugger in his 60s who should be taken out and shot..! Still, part of the charm I s'pose!
Good flying with my friend and fellow-pilot Sam K. The trip back the next day was in poorer weather, the grey goldfish bowl effect (grey sea, grey sky, grey showers) which is more the norm in the Irish Sea, but lunch at Sleap with friends on the way home capped off a great weekend and I'd highly recommend a flying visit to the Isle of Man for anyone who hasn't done it!
Places to see in ( Douglas - UK )
Places to see in ( Douglas - UK )
Douglas is the capital and largest town of the Isle of Man . Douglas is located at the mouth of the River Douglas, and on a sweeping bay of two miles. The River Douglas forms part of the town's harbour and main commercial port. The town is the Island's main hub for business, finance, legal services, shipping, transport, shopping, and entertainment. The annual Isle of Man TT motorcycle races start and finish in Douglas.
Douglas was a small settlement until it grew rapidly as a result of links with the English port of Liverpool in the 18th century. Further population growth came in the following century, resulting during the 1860s in a staged transfer of the High Courts, the Lieutenant Governor's residence, and finally the seat of the legislature, Tynwald, to Douglas from the ancient capital, Castletown.
Douglas is on the east of the island near the confluence of the two rivers Dhoo and Glass forming the Douglas. At Douglas, the river flows through the quay and into Douglas Bay. A gently sloping valley runs inland. Hills lie to the north-west and south-east. The town is surrounded by several other smaller towns and villages, most notably Onchan to the north (which forms a conurbation with Douglas) and Union Mills to the west.
Douglas is the hub of the island's bus network, with regular services to Port Erin, Peel and Ramsey, as well as various local bus services. The town also has the termini of the two main railway lines on the island: the steam railway to Port Erin and the electric tramway to Ramsey. It is also the home of the ferry terminal, from where the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company operate regular services to Heysham, Dublin, Belfast and Liverpool.
Douglas has a number of attractions and items of interest:
The Tower of Refuge is a small castle-like shelter built upon Conister Rock in Douglas Bay as a sanctuary for shipwrecked sailors. Construction was instigated by Sir William Hillary, founder of the RNLI.
Douglas Head is home to the Grand Union Camera Obscura which has recently undergone restoration and is open to the public during the summer months. Other artefacts and remnants of Victorian Tourism can still be found on walks around the area.
The horse-drawn trams that run along the promenade from the Sea Terminal to the Manx Electric Railway station from spring to early autumn.
Steam trains run 15 miles from Douglas railway station to Port Erin in the south of the Island.
The Grandstand on Glencrutchery Road marks the start and finish of the annual TT Races and various other motorsports.
The Gaiety Theatre and the Villa Marina are popular venues for all manner of stage acts: from rock music to comedy to drama to ballet. The Gaiety Theatre is one of the best surviving examples of the work of Frank Matcham and dates from 1900. Both venues have recently undergone extensive renovations.
The award-winning Manx Museum in Kingswood Grove contains many of the most important cultural artefacts relating to the Manx nation. Highlights include the Calf of Man Crucifixion Stone, the Pagan Lady's necklace from the Viking excavations at Peel Castle, and the largest collection of Archibald Knox materials. It also houses the National Art Collection, and the National Archives.
The Jubilee clock is a street clock built in 1887 to mark the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria's reign. It is located at the foot of Victoria Street and Loch Promenade. The location also marked the lower terminus of the Upper Douglas Cable Tramway
Other buildings of interest include Isola restaurant, in John Street, and the Douglas Hotel, on the North Quay, both merchants' houses from the mid-18th century; the Castle Mona (formerly the Quality Hotel), a seaside mansion built by John Murray, 4th Duke of Atholl in 1804, currently awaiting refurbishment; and the Loch Promenade, a curving terrace of former boarding houses dating from the 1870s.

Isle of Man by Drone - Sulby Reservoir
Drone Footage of Sulby Reservoir Area - Isle of Man.
The aim is to show there is far more to this island than the TT Races, I love to explore using my Drone and my Motorcycles. My Drone footage even shows me places to re-visit when I view them on the computer screen. Buildings, Valleys, Rivers, Streams, Caves, rock faces that I simply would not know existed until I review this footage. My aim is for you the viewer to also watch these videos and see places that spark that lightbulb moment, they even may make you want to buy a drone and fly the same locations and get closer to those places that I have not yet returned to.

Dam[edit]
The reservoir's dam was completed in 1982. It has a rock-fill embankment 73 metres (240 ft) high.
Geography
It is located in Sulby Glen near the source of the Sulby River, the longest river on the island. Sulby Reservoir is also about 1 mile (1.6 km) west of the summit of Snaefell, the island's highest peak. It is operated by the Isle of Man Water Authority.[1]
Use
The reservoir supplies St Johns, Peel, Kirk Michael, Ballaugh, Andreas, Bride, Ramsey and Laxey. Water can also be pumped to the West Baldwin Reservoir which supplies Douglas and the south of the island.
The reservoir also powers a hydro-electric power station one mile (1.6 kilometres) downstream
An energy recovery system[clarification needed] was installed at the Sulby Water Treatment Works in 2013, to generate hydro-electric power from incoming water.
