Picture of the Week: #21


I've been in Jersey for the past few days, hence the remarkably late post - I've backdated it to Sunday for consistency's sake (and because it is now technically Wednesday, which seems a little late). I don't really have the time or the inclination to go into much detail about it now (see, ye people, the microscopically-detailed account of my rather uninteresting life!), although several aspects of the whole experience are fairly likely to inspire a few posts in the near future.

What I will say is that this photo was taken at La Corbière, the furthest point to the south-west on the island, which really is a rather beautiful spot. The statue on the right commemorates a near-disaster nearby, when a ferry struck some rocks and sank (mercifully without loss of life), whereas the lighthouse, which stands on its own little promontory and is accessible by land at low tide, was supposed to prevent just such an occurrence. A fairly monstrous "D'oh" would appear to be in order.
