La Rocque

We had a nice walk along La Rocque a few weeks ago when the weather was still good...





The house with the tower...








.. and brightly painted out-building.







Seymour Tower







This stone bench wasn't here last time I came down here.








The tide was well out...







.. and people were enjoying the "lunar landscape"...







.. I'm glad they never build an airport here, LOL








The refuge tower for walkers caught out by the tide.







Along the breakwater, looking back.

Misc

A bunch of Misc from recent weeks...


A calm day at Le Hocq, with reflections of individual clouds...






.. towards La Rocque.







At Greve d'Azette, looking towards...






.. the new incinerator (which has changed a bit since the pic was taken).






Probably the job with the best view in the island!






The old bus shelter at Grouville has been given a makeover by the kids from the local primary school...








.. closer...







.. and from the other side with war memorial in foreground.






A moth with red spots.







Noirmont Tower in the evening sunlight...







.. closer.







While up there, a Condor...







.. 'wavepiercer' ferry...





.. passes by en route to other isles.







An interesting relic rusting away at La Pulente.










A freshly repainted navigational aid...






.. the square tower in St.Ouen's Bay.

La Rocque

More pics from over a year ago - this time La Rocque at the island's South East corner.








.. closer.






The way to the pier.







Tower (privately owned) - the pink house is now far more garishly coloured - must take a new pic one day.






Not keen on this one.








- or this.







A riot of colour







This looked great on the camera. Pity it doesn't here :)

Misc from September

I might as well publish these before they get too old :)


A recent furze fire at L'Etacq...








.. closer...







.. slightly blurry but it was rather distant.







How green is my valley? Mourier, in fact, from the cliff path.






I wonder if I've ever noticed before that there's nothing behind the facade here in the middle at Chambers, and then forgotten... only to rediscover it... possibly a few times? :)







C.T. Maine the jewellers, by Hamons, is going to close after many many years....








.. closer...








.. above the door.






A quick grab of the scene at La Rocque which caught my eye for some reason - the colour of the patch of drier sand.






Slipway cafe at Bel Royal at dusk.






Good for a giggle if you have my sense of humour - if the shutters actually closed, how much of the windows would they cover?







.. nearby, the scaffolding has come down from the new tower...






.. closer.








Ann Court coming down too.
