....and if ever there was a view that made me stand still in my steps this was it - I totally unexpected to see this, having parked my car a short distance away. Needless to say I stopped and sat on the hillside taking in this sight for quite some time. ps The tower is the remains of one of the fortifications built by the Germans who occupied the island in WW2. There are still many guns and bunkers around the coast on the high ground, many of which I looked at as I was touring the island.

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??
What a beautiful spot. I find myself drawn to that little tower on the island. I've always had a thing for escaping to islands. Nice work: Ricky.

Where we have come from has absolutely no bearing upon where we are capable of going.
What a stunning view, I can see why you would have stayed there a while. Beautiful!

So very beautiful and I would have done the same. I too am curious about the tower on the little spot of land. I'm sure this was a wonderful trip and so glad I get to view the images.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life.
It's easy to see you are not afraid of heights. Many of your pictures look like they were taken while hang gliding or something. This is a classic. Great scenery, and I love the color of that water. Very nice, Patti.

What a beautiful scene. I can see why you would want to set there for hours staring at this. Very peaceful but dramatic in color. Excellent work.

Great photo and I googled Jersey because I was unaware of its location and history. I apologize for being stupid. I'm not stupid when it comes to recognizing beauty and this is one beautiful photo. Great work Patti.

"Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you" ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
No wonder this stopped you in your tracks Patti. What a view! I'd forgotten about the Germans occupying the island. I remember visiting the underground hospital they built when I was there as a child. Lovely shot here, with that curving bay and the island and little tower. I can't believe what good weather you had either!

A beautiful shot, Patti. I've never been to Jersey but Delia has and she's always saying what a good time she had there.

G. K. Chesterton.
You are neither taxed nor fined if you look at My Gallery.
Oh yes, that is a nice sight indeed ! Yes you do see those ww2 concrete fortifications in a lot of places in Europe. At the time it was to expensive to blow them all up, and now they belong to the sight of the countryside.
