Misc

I'll start with the picture postcard shots today.
Here's Anne Port looking colourful.








.. having come around the coast from here...







.. Archirondel's old Round Tower...









.. closer.






Building work by Gorey's Castle Common...






.. and a view over the Royal Bay...






.. the harbour, closer.







.. and pier.






There's a house up in the top right that looks like it is falling over! ...






.. those crazy architects, LOL!






I took a walk to investigate...







.. looks fairly normal close up.






Meanwhile back at Gorey, an initiative to provide a cycle path on a wide main road where I really can't see there was a problem or a need for it...




.. but it provided work for someone, I suppose, in these difficult times.







I shall wait to see when I first see someone cycling here on this short stretch!






.. closer.






At the bottom of the coastal end of Plat Douet Road, an old commercial premises...





.. being felled to make way for... have a guess...
.. more new flats!






Top of Welly Hill - looks far more open than it used to, must have had the tree killers in...





.. now you can see the ironmongery on top of the 1894 Maison St. Louis weather observatory.






I noticed a new sign the other day...








.. at a higher tide.

There's one by Port Control too.






.. farther, instead of "closer" for a change :)







The Branchage filmfest Spiegeltent was here again this year. (3 words in a row that upset the spelling checker!)







A view down Kensington Place with a hazy Noirmont in the distance.





New Digital Telly aerials going up at Fremont Point, gives us a chance to see how big that white thing is...









.. here's a bloke with a head for heights, for an idea of scale!









Nearby at Wolf's Caves, the old pub (later to become a Worship Centre) is being ripped apart, like several abandoned vehicles in the car park.
