Incinerator fallout zone

Here's where the incinerator is to be built...








.. immediate neighbours : a RAMSAR site and Havre des Pas


(and yes, maybe I could have had these views with a low tide walk)




Close-ups now, heading left to right...

1) Martello Tower from 1834 when the view was a bit more.. wet.





.. the prom along from La Collette to H d P...







'Nelson's Eye with Victoria College beyond.







.. and with JCG on the skyline too...

.. a gap in the buildings where a cafe and hotel have been demolished.





The walkway out to the pool... Mont Pinel and Douro Terrace up above.





The pool







Le Dicq







A private slipway.

I like the way it looks very rural inland, with acres of urban sprawl conveniently hidden.





Grande Charriere slipway (Rice Bowl)







Nicolle Tower on Mt Ube...






The lucky ****er who hugely rebuilt that place at Le Hocq certainly gets a great view.






Mt. Ube : by yet another pair of mobile masts, an 1896 lighthouse...







.. and its twin at Greve d'Azette.







Green Island

Views east of the reclamation

It's great to get views that would only have been possible from a boat a decade ago...

.. from Green Island on the right...





.. left along Greve d'Azette to Havre des Pas.







Close ups now...
Le Dicq area, easily recognised 3 points of the roof of the Hotel de Normandy, Longueville beyond...





.. right a bit... Greve d'Azette
(I still wonder why this area alone has been allowed to be High Rise Row?)






More of Greve d'Azette before the Grande Charriere slip, Grouville Hill beyond.







Lighthouse and Les Marais.






Green Island and Icho round tower.

I bet that cat down there has plenty of rats to prey upon :)

Misc

Coastal - windy weather at Greve d'Azette...






.. glad I was on dry land.

Noirmont Point is up there, top right...





.. and from there, here we are looking back, on a somewhat more pleasant day.








Are you a pheasant plucker?








Le Hocq...







..is it just me or does the tower look like it's leaning?








.. closer. It must be me... or a trick of the light...








.. because outlines and dropped verticals reveal it's more or less fine.






A drive-by shooting (camera shot, that is)...









.. of Mr Sandman...






.. and a castle in the Parade.








Yet another...








.. pierheads/castle sunset pic.
Now with added sailboat!
