Misc

Big new private multi-storey car-park in Kensington Place (looms over the Grand Hotel as seen from the park)...







.. some of the shapes in those vent panels look like dolphins, whales and dinosaurs to me - anyone else?! :)





SGB is no more, it is now Harsco - is that another locally owned business transfered to out-of-island ownership for tax purposes? This 0-10 thing is ridiculous - there MUST be a way to get some useful tax out of locally produced profits or land use, surely?



After a few days without jet trails, it was novel to see one again, especially doing a big loop holding pattern.





A bunker at Les Platons with a view over to Bonne Nuit.







Recent new artwork at premises at the top of Trinity Hill...






.. closer...







.. details.






Anne Port from near Victoria Tower...







.. closer.






.. and the castle at Gorey...







.. as seen from by an old WWII bunker starting to get overgrown again since it was examined and cleaned up during the abuse enquiry.







Royal Bay of Grouville...







.. again from by the aerials site overlooking the castle, at Victoria Tower...






.. closer... the common and beach.

SGB was hardly ever a local company, they do scaffolding the world over!

Thanks

I hadn't noticed that about SGB, LOL

The point about 0-10 and local companies still stands though :)
