Sea Mist

A day of sea mists last week - here's the wispy stuff...







.. rolling in up the cliffs at the north coast.





Lots of people taking photos here as well as me.

The kart people would have you believe that no-one ever comes to the Ronez loop road - I'm sure the coach-loads of tourists would disagree! It would be a sad day for the island if a minority manage to take over this area for their own use and keep us motorists out. They say that their takeover plans include a parking area still, but that's around the corner with no good view of the other islands. It's not the same to make us get out of the car and walk around to this excellent viewpoint (the only place where you can see so much of France and all the way around to the south of Guernsey) because many people can't walk very far and those of us who can may not really want to on a cold day when the view would be better enjoyed from the comfort of the car - as we have been able to for many years.

But enough despairing about people selfishly wanting to grab a slice of valuable COASTAL AREA for a hobby that could be enjoyed elsewhere more easily (if only another load of selfish NIMBY people would let them!).........


The mist rolled in along the 5 mile bay...








.. closer...







.. and closer.




It was asking a bit much of my "cheap glass" (photographers' lens-speak!) to get a clear shot from this distance, but here's the "chateau" shopping place which seems to have closed now - the canopy which was over the entrance is now lying forlornly in front of the doorway.



That's what has replaced the old bar the Relais des Mielles.







Watching the mist obscure the tower...







.. La Rocco Tower.







People still managed to enjoy the beach amongst the misty gloom.






Only the very top of the lighthouse could be seen.







No problem seeing the tower from La Pulente though...







.. the fogbank was behind it from here...







.. as a number of other camera owners had found too...







.. I saw at least 3 others taking pictures around the time I was!






Zooming in to La Braye...






.. and the trees at La Pulente that mark the start of the drive along by the dunes.
