Today I'm posting a few more shots from Jersey. I was only there overnight and so I didn't get to see much outside of St Helier, and with all the rain I definitely didn't see the island at its best.
Around St Helier there's a lot of emphasis on liberation following the last world war, and the tree in the first image is called the Freedom Tree and it commemorates the 60th anniversary of liberation.
The other pictures were taken along the harbour wall two different views of Elizabeth Castle and the final picture is of the walkway along the harbour wall at night with a bit of J J Abrams lens flare for effect.
So today I am in St Helier, capital of the island state of Jersey. I'm here for work and only have limited time between appointments and my flights so sadly I don't have any real opportunity to take photos.
Added to the time constraints the weather this evening has been abysmal and I felt like I'd had a bath in my clothes by the time I got back to my hotel. I had mananged to find a nice restaurant and so after some succulent lamb and some delicious profiteroles my mood was lifted somewhat (those who know me well will know how much I like profiteroles).
Anyway the first of today's images is of a statue of a frog which was perched upon a stone column in a small square in the centre of the town. It was unusual and quirky and therefore worthy of a spot in my blog.
The other shots are abstract images of the lights around the harbour which I rather like. I hope you do too.
