Typical of this part of the island, the grey, pebbly beach arises from the underlying rock, which is a diorite which does not produce a quartz-rich sand when weathered. text/html 2010-04-13T21:23:58GMT http://www.geograph.org.je/profile/7090 Jonathan Wilkins 49.509427 -2.519018 http://www.geograph.org.je/photo/26 Looking across the little bay and rifle range to the fort. In Napoleonic times this was one of the principal defences of the island, and a large barracks was also part of the complex - though now demolished. text/html 2010-04-12T22:00:55GMT http://www.geograph.org.je/profile/7090 Jonathan Wilkins 49.502539 -2.528339 http://www.geograph.org.je/photo/25 A view of the superb sandy bay at L'Ancresse. There is a strong correlation between granite outcrop and wide, white sands due to the way that the granite weathers and releases grains of pure quartz. The Martello Tower can be seen at the left of the image. text/html 2010-04-12T21:53:39GMT http://www.geograph.org.je/profile/7090 Jonathan Wilkins 49.475513 -2.614321 http://www.geograph.org.je/photo/24 Towering, coastal outcrops of the coarse-grained, pink Cobo Granite on the headland below Fort Hommet [WV2880] at the north end of Vazon Bay. text/html 2010-04-12T21:42:16GMT http://www.geograph.org.je/profile/7090 Jonathan Wilkins 49.474607 -2.612257 http://www.geograph.org.je/photo/23 Originally built during the Victorian era as part of the coastal defence, the location was augmented by the Germans, who extended the building with rather insensitive concrete (right). The Victorian building has been restored (1980's) and further German fortifications also, more recently. text/html 2010-04-12T21:26:05GMT http://www.geograph.org.je/profile/7090 Jonathan Wilkins 49.453915 -2.537774 http://www.geograph.org.je/photo/22 A view of the elegant roof of the market hall which was just completing its refurbishment at the time of imaging. The market occupies a triangular plot between Market Street and Le Bordage, and has a roof which is finished in four different varieties of slates. In the distance the parish church tower is scaffolded and wrapped during repairs. text/html 2010-04-12T20:50:08GMT http://www.geograph.org.je/profile/7090 Jonathan Wilkins 49.503328 -2.523221 http://www.geograph.org.je/photo/21 A view from the corner of L'Ancresse Bay showing the Martello Tower at Banque a Barque. Here the rock outcrop is the pink-coloured L'Ancresse Granodiorite of Cadomian age, whereas the northern-eastern tip of the island is the grey diorite. German fortifications are also in evidence.
