Eye by night

Might as well snap this thing some more while it's still here...







A 'getting closer' series...








































Getting darker...
















The other way...















From Gloucester St.

St. Aubin harbour

On the north pier at St.Aubin (satellite map) ...



Looking over to the other, south, pier...








.. right a bit...











.. right some more.
Possibly the most cluttered pic I've ever snapped. Is there some rule that those covers all have to be the same blue?!





"Danger steps" really made me want to walk around there and try them out (how dangerous can they be?), but the company I was with couldn't be bothered :)




A gull the other side of the pierheads. Nice to see one by the sea for a change, instead of scavenging in town and nesting on chimneys.






Talking of town, over the bay...






.. there it is... not the best waterfront in the world, is it? A long dull strip of rubble with boring bland buildings above.







.. closer, with Victoria College up top.






Beaumont tower near the 'Gunsite' slip & cafe.






At another slipway, the cafe at La Haule - rebuilt after the storm that trashed it earlier this year.

Eye see

Probably enough pics of the Jersey Eye for now, unless I dream up any new angles to snap it from. Don't expect any pics from the thing.... I haven't decided if I can face it yet :o)


From a distance...







.. closer...








.. closer...







.. closer still...







.. and now we get to the bottom of it...








.. and the middle...





.. and the top.











Taking it sideways... (Quiet at the back! Umm....)








.. from by the fountains.

From Layby 1






From the seawall








Zoomed in








That'll be the eye.








On the beach

Further along...
