Sundown out west



From a bunker at Le Port...






.. backlit wavebreak...







.. crashing waves...







.. along the bay.







In the other direction...







.. the new El Tico still under construction behind the Lifeguards lookout.

St.Ouen's Bay views from Corbiere

Left to right... from North to South....


Let's start at the NW corner - Les Landes - with Le Pinacle rock, a WWII tower, and L'Etacq.






Beyond La Rocco Tower is L'Ouziere bunker & slipway, and Big Vern's (at what used to be 'Sands')...






.. along a bit more (from a more western viewpoint) this stretch of coastline goes from L'Ouziere to the Don Hilton white house.






.. which then takes us to the Splash (Mont Matthieu beyond, and St.O mill up on skyline)...







.. and then to Le Port (with church up there)...







.. and Val de la Mare dam is beyond the coastline between El Tico and...






Le Braye / La Braye / Les Brayes (delete as applicable - I'd love to know!)

Le Port and surf


A full carpark at Le Port (sat. view) on a nice evening...
(from a bunker, where the Lifeguards tower is behind us)





.. right a bit, showing how much grassy dune there is before the main road.





Plenty of this sort of thing going on...
but first, some views from the bunker vantage point...





Towards the 'splash...






.. closer.






The little white house, and Kempt Tower behind in the distance.






It's one of those rare times where I like the entire 4:3 frame as I shot it, without snipping off unwanted edges...





.. although I'll 'crop' this bit for a closeup...






.. and I quite like the shapes in this.
So that's how I do it... I take small bits of the full pic I snapped :)






Two left standing.








"You go that way, I'll go this..."






Classic VW surf-dude goodness...








.. another.








And so the sun went down.
