Prom - La Collette / Havre Des Pas

Photos taken last year, Autumn. Here's the prom showing a shelter that has since been demolished...









.. and the "insane-erator" :)







.. connected to the JEC chimney via this pipework.







In the more scenic direction...






.. a seafront cafe...






.. has been painted very brightly.








Near an old shipyard open space...






.. is a new block of appartments...







.. featuring a new artwork....








.. Bait Ball.






Looking outwards...







.. and a close-up - especially for regular blog reader Dottie :)





More of the prom...






.. and left a bit.

La Collette changes for "emergency access road"

I had been concerned about the proposed works to be carried out here to allow fire appliances through to the new incinerator...





.. but this new notice explains all...





.. and it looks like the authentic Victorian Seaside railings and granite will be preserved.





What's happening and where...




.. and all is explained.

So it's not so bad. I'll find something else to worry about ;)

Misc

A nice low tide at the harbour...







.. I think this is known as "rats corner" .. ?






The Albert Pierhead






Not far away, the new incinerator continues to take shape, with shiny exhaust pipe to the power station's stack.




From the South.






Those kart people would have you believe that few people use the Ronez loop road, but I was there and so were THREE other cars - even on an overcast day with no great view of the distant coasts at the time! So PLEASE don't let them steal this public road for their own selfish permanent use!

More planning madness...







.. a massive gated community takes shape...







.. and luxury house.






The newly uncovered bunker at Noirmont - complete with original wall decoration and lino on the floor...






.. and a more recent inscription on the ceiling of the escape shaft! (Shaft being the operative word)





A model of the tunnels at St.Aubin gives a good idea how large they are...







.. and here's a map of German railways on the island during the occupation, for what it's worth.




Lots of plane trails to the south of Noirmont. Maybe it does affect the amount of sunshine we get?

Misc

A bunch of Misc from recent weeks...


A calm day at Le Hocq, with reflections of individual clouds...






.. towards La Rocque.







At Greve d'Azette, looking towards...






.. the new incinerator (which has changed a bit since the pic was taken).






Probably the job with the best view in the island!






The old bus shelter at Grouville has been given a makeover by the kids from the local primary school...








.. closer...







.. and from the other side with war memorial in foreground.






A moth with red spots.







Noirmont Tower in the evening sunlight...







.. closer.







While up there, a Condor...







.. 'wavepiercer' ferry...





.. passes by en route to other isles.







An interesting relic rusting away at La Pulente.










A freshly repainted navigational aid...






.. the square tower in St.Ouen's Bay.
