Views from Pier Road



There's plenty to see from here.






The new 'boutique hotel' above the bus station...









.. from a better angle.









Left a bit, West Park.








I think I must be just about coming to the end of unpublished pics of the Eye!







The upturned boat cafe...








.. and St. Andrew's through the edge of the eye.








The Needle...








.. closer.







St. Aubin's harbour over the bay...







.. and to the left, the fort.

More views from Fort Regent


Towards St.Aubin's Bay from the old minigolf area...








.. Waterfront area...








.. and right a bit, as far as the hospital.








Castle and distant tower...









.. closer.






Hotel de France and Highlands, over Gas Place. The Ann St chimney now missing, of course.








A school for a higher class of bullies :)







Down the coast towards Green Island...







.. closer - the Grande Charriere slipway at Greve d'Azette.
Icho tower in the hazy distance.

View west from Fort Ramparts

(and no big wheel required!)

Here's the wide view from the ramparts, taking in the delights of the Steam Clock, "West of Albert" urban sprawl and underpass, the tunnel entrance, Weighbridge Area, Liberation Square, the "Island Site" and bus station, Esplanade etc.



The statue area in Liberation Square, and the old abattoir area behind (being renovated into a shopping mall).






It's not great, but better than the waste of time sunken road they're planning.






Delightful Jersey charm.








New blocks on land where the corner of the beach used to be.









The Esplanade and start of Victoria Avenue...






.. if this area feels like a "concrete desert"... it's because it is!

Waterfront



At the Elizabeth Marina, looking back along the wall towards the Carbuncle Cup candidate, the Hotel Eyesore.






Eastwards towards the Harbour Reach block and South Hill.








A Condor ferry on the way. Maybe I'll learn to get horizons level one day.







Rafts in the bay mark the safety zone for the air display.







Looking over to Beaumont and the 'Gunsite' area.







V.C. is lost amongst the urban detritus of cheap buildings, aerials and CCTV cameras...






.. and will soon disappear from view here when the space gets filled in between the hotel and Harbour Reach... with yet more flats.






Carbuncle? Or St.Peter's community centre turned inside out?
(same colour scheme!)







The Jersey Eye has gone in the last day or two...








(count the landmarks)









.. so here are one or two more shots to remember it by...






Goodbye Jersey Eye, sorry you miscalculated the demand :)

Eye by night

Might as well snap this thing some more while it's still here...







A 'getting closer' series...








































Getting darker...
















The other way...
