Up at the airport, a huge new cargo handling shed is making the area look a bit overdeveloped.
The Esplanade certainly is. Traditional old Jersey buildings got flattened for this latest monstrosity.
And why not rip up the greenery at the waterfront...
.. to build even more temples to Finance?
- never mind, a replacement carpark on the Simply The Best site will make up for the lost spaces, the extra walk will do us good I'm sure :(
Another great idea - put a huge electricity substation in the middle of the upper park!
And rip up the grass here at Bel Royal because it's too much effort to mow it, and restore it to a 'natural look'.
On a more positive note, the First Tower station cafe has a bright and cheerful new paint job....
.. colourful even with the light behind it. I approve!
I got a laugh from spotting this at La Rocque :)
A new Condor ferry. Not sure about the pink and yellow, I have to say.
At the berth. Quite a low tide today...
This afternoon it would have been possible to walk from the beach by Gorey Castle, to Anne Port, around to Archirondel...past the end of the unfinished breakwater...
.. all the way to St Catherine on the beach...
.. and clamber up to the slipway there. That's one heck of a low tide!
Back to town for more low tidings, and here's the castle high and dry...
.. and looking past the fuel berth, the hermitage rock on the castle breakwater and a mine control bunker.

Welcome back, with a great set of interesting photos too :)
Thanks James. It was good to blow the dust off the camera and play with it again. It's still a pain to upload the photos and put the page together, but as long as people are looking at them (and commenting, hopefully) then I'll carry on.
Cheers!
Good to see you back! Pete
Welcome back and thanks for the updates. That super-low tide was related to the recent solar eclipse, I believe. When full tide arrived, Mont San-Michel became an isolated island.
