El Tico opens again


El Tico reopened tonight, 1st July 2009 - the beach cafe near Le Port in St.Ouen's Bay - in the parish of St.Peter (map) .

Some blurry rushed snaps...






.. interior, hastily shot through a window - excuse the poor colour balance :)







Set in scenery like this it can't go wrong.







From the sea wall







.. getting closer.







Some shots from the beach, now...






























From quite a distance in poor light I'm quite pleased with the sharpness!
1/20 sec at over 800mm focal length (35mm equiv.)!















From a nearby bunker







More snaps from skulking around :)















A week or two earlier... not quite ready...























It will be a great place to dine and watch a sunset.

The LifeGuards will have to build an extension up to see over the roof to the south now, like the new airport tower :-) R.

Looks lovely :) I do really appreciate your pix as they make me feel that I am still in touch with home :)

Thanks D, that's what I'm here for - for those of you who were kind enough to leave so that the island is just a little less overcrowded - LOL

Cheers R, I think they can see enough bikini-clad young ladies from there as it is :)

Ooh, it's so art deco-y and glowy. Can't wait to let my camera loose on it when I come home in August. Yay!
