Getting misc-y again

Up at the airport, a huge new cargo handling shed is making the area look a bit overdeveloped.

The Esplanade certainly is. Traditional old Jersey buildings got flattened for this latest monstrosity.

And why not rip up the greenery at the waterfront...

 .. to build even more temples to Finance?

- never mind, a replacement carpark on the Simply The Best site will make up for the lost spaces, the extra walk will do us good I'm sure :(

Another great idea - put a huge electricity substation in the middle of the upper park!

And rip up the grass here at Bel Royal because it's too much effort to mow it, and restore it to a 'natural look'.

On a more positive note, the First Tower station cafe has a bright and cheerful new paint job....

.. colourful even with the light behind it. I approve!

I got a laugh from spotting this at La Rocque :)

A new Condor ferry. Not sure about the pink and yellow, I have to say.

At the berth. Quite a low tide today...

This afternoon it would have been possible to walk from the beach by Gorey Castle, to Anne Port, around to Archirondel...past the end of the unfinished breakwater...

.. all the way to St Catherine on the beach...

 .. and clamber up to the slipway there. That's one heck of a low tide!

Back to town for more low tidings, and here's the castle high and dry...

 .. and looking past the fuel berth, the hermitage rock on the castle breakwater and a mine control bunker.

Bel Royal & new cafe

Prom westwards from Bel Royal towards the perquage carpark and then to the Gunsite at Beaumont...





.. in the other direction - by the carpark.

On the right behind the mound there's a hint of...




.. a new cafe on the slipway ...

(that's a mobile phone mast on the toilets)





.. closer.

It replaced an orange boat-like kiosk.






From the mound, looking over to St.Helier...







.. beach cafe, closer...








.. etc. The seagull shadow was a happy coincidence :o)






From the slipway.







Lots of lines







A boat whizzes past.







The beach







I wasn't there long enough to see what this was for.






Heading eastwards away from Bel Royal...








.. to the old Millbrook Station...

footpath...





.. and cycle path...








.. well used.
