Two weeks ago when my brother came down to visit, we went across on the floating bridge to East Cowes and jumped on a bus to Ryde. As mentioned in last weeks post, Rosemary Vineyard, we went out exploring the island to test out my brothers new Canon 7D. It was a sunny but extremely windy day, which meant trying to keep out of the wind to stay warm!

Ryde is on the North East edge of the Isle of Wight, famous for its great expanse of beach at low tide and long pier to the Wight Link Catamaran. This is a collection of photos from the day while we tried to stay warm and find the gaps of sunlight!
