Distant Coasts

It was very clear at the weekend. Not quite as clear as the best I ever saw (before I owned a digicam and I've been waiting to catch such great clarity ever since) but not bad at all. I had someone with me and couldn't really take much time over it, so these rushed snaps out of the car window will have to do...

It's not often we see Alderney this clearly. I wondered if that was a big white hotel down in a bay like Bouley Bay (I've never been to that isle)...



.. but it turned out to be a ship :)








That looks like a nuke-ular station (Flamanville)...







.. and reprocessing plant (great neighbours, huh?)





The closest point (I believe) is near Carteret. The radio mast is here on the map at Route du Semaphore.

I haven't found the wind turbines on the map yet :)




Farther South...






.. and Les Ecrehos, I hope I'll get a clearer pic one day.






So here it is, Merry Christmas... have a great 2010, and thanks for visiting this piccyblog.
