Noirmont


Charming St.Helier, from Noirmont...








.. right a bit, Elizabeth Castle and the rotting old fort pool up beyond.






.. right a bit more, the south-east corner and Seymour Tower.






.. right again, Icho Tower.

Right some more, past Chaussey and the Minkies, looking just past south I believe...




.. now it was a good low tide, and visibility was good, but I don't recall ever seeing France in that direction before...?






.. closer - that would be somewhere around the Frehel region (on the map).





And why shouldn't that part of France be visible, if the Roches Douvres lighthouse can be seen? (map and views )








Anyhow, back on the island, an excavated bunker...







... Ammo store number 6...








.. two small rooms.








To the west, Portelet Tower on the islet in the bay...









.. and from another direction, from near the Inn...







.. closer.

Oh, and Happy Easter :)
