Photo of the Week--9/1/08


We faced highway traffic and flight delays, but eventually we caught our little prop-plane flight to Jersey, in the Channel Islands. Jersey is the southernmost of Britain's Channel Islands, and is actually off the coast of France. It has an interesting history, with both French and English influences, and was actually occupied by the Nazis during World War II. This shot is of Groznez Point, where lies the ruins of a castle that was built in the 14th century (and was destroyed during the next 100 years, likely by the French). A windswept point, a castle ruin, an ocean view—how much more scenic can you get?

  1. Much scenic. But what is going on in the photo amongst the humans?!

  2. I did mention it was a windswept point. TSU was blocking the wind and leaning into it, while Boy was ignoring the shenanigans and hoping to be fed soon.
