Misc II

More misc from recent weeks...



An old quarry between the prison and Beauport...







.. with stunning views...







.. over to Ouaisne and La Cotte, etc.




There used to be a stone carving of a birdlike dinosaur head here glued to this rock, but sadly some pathetic vandals have either stolen it or pushed it over the edge.







Nearby a bunker is used as a clubhouse by the local ham radio club.






A green lizard at Noirmont...








.. closer.







Quick roadside snap of St.Ouen's Pond.




100 or so yachts recently visited to take part in the start of the Tour des Ports de la Manche (tourdesports50.fr)







.. same pic, lightened up a bit.






.. closer.






A misty start from St.Aubin's Bay....






.. eventually. It started long after they said on the radio.

This pic from the avenue...

Looking east from Grosnez Light...







.. the cliffs at Plemont...

Yep-superb again :) Loved the 2 of a green lizard. Of all the years I have walked Noirmont, Portelet and around the airport's radar I have ever seen one :(

Thanks Dottie... you just have to walk around when they're topping up their heat levels by sunbathing, and listen out for scurrying noises - that will tell you that they're about. Then you have to move slowly and keep your eyes peeled :)
