Incinerator fallout zone

Here's where the incinerator is to be built...








.. immediate neighbours : a RAMSAR site and Havre des Pas


(and yes, maybe I could have had these views with a low tide walk)




Close-ups now, heading left to right...

1) Martello Tower from 1834 when the view was a bit more.. wet.





.. the prom along from La Collette to H d P...







'Nelson's Eye with Victoria College beyond.







.. and with JCG on the skyline too...

.. a gap in the buildings where a cafe and hotel have been demolished.





The walkway out to the pool... Mont Pinel and Douro Terrace up above.





The pool







Le Dicq







A private slipway.

I like the way it looks very rural inland, with acres of urban sprawl conveniently hidden.





Grande Charriere slipway (Rice Bowl)







Nicolle Tower on Mt Ube...






The lucky ****er who hugely rebuilt that place at Le Hocq certainly gets a great view.






Mt. Ube : by yet another pair of mobile masts, an 1896 lighthouse...







.. and its twin at Greve d'Azette.







Green Island

Views east of the reclamation

It's great to get views that would only have been possible from a boat a decade ago...

.. from Green Island on the right...





.. left along Greve d'Azette to Havre des Pas.







Close ups now...
Le Dicq area, easily recognised 3 points of the roof of the Hotel de Normandy, Longueville beyond...





.. right a bit... Greve d'Azette
(I still wonder why this area alone has been allowed to be High Rise Row?)






More of Greve d'Azette before the Grande Charriere slip, Grouville Hill beyond.







Lighthouse and Les Marais.






Green Island and Icho round tower.

I bet that cat down there has plenty of rats to prey upon :)

La Rocque Sunset

A view along the Pontac coast.

It's the real reason I stopped the car at La Rocque, a colourful sunset. The tower pics last time were just a bonus on this sortie.





It's beautiful on that pier when the weather is right.







Those trees near Green Island have a good outline...







.. closer.








With foreground rocks. Not sure if the composition works well..?







... and the sun goes down on another wonderful week :)

Have a good weekend

South-East

Green Island...






.. and bloke in boat.







That's the Demi des Pas, I believe







Looking over to Noirmont...





.. from La Mare








A Condor ferry heading out.

From the top of Les Marais - east

No politics today (that's not the main point of this blog anyway)... just views from the top floor of one of the four blocks of flats at Les Marais... in case you've ever wondered...




Down to the beach.






.. left a bit, new housing aplenty...








- with Green Island -





... left again, see the tiny blob of Icho Tower?








... I love this camera!








Left again to Le Hocq...






.. and with France in the distance, the lighthouse at Mt Ube...







.. one of a pair from 1896, the other being somewhat closer by.











Le Hocq, with Pontac and the La Rocque corner behind...







.. closer...








.. and again... that'll do.







Another tower, a bit further away - Seymour.






Final landmark for today, the Nicolle Tower higher up Mt. Ube.
