Hamons announced they will be closing at some point, so here's something to remember them by...




From by Voisins








The corner...

Gate





Along a bit.
"If there's ever rioting and looting in King St, there's a teatowel in Hamon's that will be mine" - (paraphrased) - A Lewis








Further along...







Other side of New Cut

More misc


3 from La Haule first, on a dull evening without very great light.

St. Aubin's Fort...






.. the Eye...






.. and the First Tower is in there somewhere.








Now up to the Fort for a view over the St.Helier Building Site...





.. closer...







.. the old abbatoir 'island' site, hemmed in by new development, including a so-called 'boutique' hotel (serviced appartments) above the bus station.






The lifeboat returns...








.. wider shot.

Misc odds and ends

Just a few odd and ends from being out and about without specific piccy-missions :o)


One to remember it by when it's gone - the Jersey Eye from St.John's Road.






HD1 at Victoria Pier








Aha, so that's how much of these things is underground :o)










Blocks (or did I miss out an ol?)







Nearby, the Registry Office end of the States Buildings...








... ever noticed these up there?







Al fresco at the Royal Square.

From the top of Les Marais - west


Towards Noirmont this time...





.. not brilliantly clear like an expensive DSLR would manage, but my whole camera cost less than just the lens would cost for that!
You can just about make out the railings on the German tower - two inch bars from 4.5 miles away isn't too bad :o)



Right a bit, towards La Collette.







Right some more...






... and again, towards Samares Manor.






Close ups, now...

College House, now JCG






Towards the JEC at Queen's Rd., over the top of the Merton. I think that's St.Mark's spire.






Towards the Bellozane Chimney, over the bell tower of St.Luke's, and the hills of new and old St.John's Roads, Westmount cem and the water co mast.






Over the highrise Greve d'Azette area, the top of Grenville St buildings... top of Cyril Le M House tucked away behind the end of the Fort's Mont de la Ville... and a hotel at Westmount top left.






Fort Regent Signal Station, and the old cable car station too.






... left a bit, over Le Dicq and the Hotel de Normandy... the masts at La Chasse, St.Ouen in the distance.







.. left some more, the Fort Dome, above Le Dicq.







.. closer. There's the tunnel and roundabout.







Left some more, the old pool at the Fort's Glacis Field. Is that St.Peter's church spire? Below...






... the pool at Havre des Pas of course.








Further left, the power station chimney, with La Haule behind...








... with a Martello Tower next to old barracks at the TA HQ.








Left again, the fuel farm, and...






.. Elizabeth Castle, and St.Aubin in the distance.

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.
