Even more pics and update - yesterday 6 March
« on: March 07, 2014, 12:50:32 PM »
Weather has been a little wet during the last week, and so yesterday being a bright day I got out with the trusty mobile to take some more pictures for you to all enjoy  ;)

The wet weather has fallen as snow on the mountains and being a bright day the mountains with the new snow look fantastic.









The work continues on the new prom, this shows the continuing work on the water edge path, which is now being block paved.



Here is the mini marina area generator/transformer (not sure which) done up to look like a boat, all now finished.



The rain has meant that work on a number of projects has not moved on much since last week, including the building work on Calis Beach prom.  But you can see that the canal work in Calis Town, including the Water Taxi area, is moving to near completion, but they still have to do some further pointing work, coping on the top of the wall on the beachside of the river, and of course re-instate the paths and roads!!  The work has still to be finished on the other side of the bridges shown in the picture below, particularly on the stretch of canal by the Hotel Pelin.





Beach and sea looking nice from the Calis Prom.



Following the request last week of pictures from Koca Calis I embarked on the perilous journey, it is after all injun territory, but I was safe as I had a day pass issued to me by Big Chief Stoop .... him heap big cheese in Koca Calis.  ;)

Approaching the reservation



Looking back as we approached



Not too many changes at all along the front, other than this newly fenced off area between the Escape and the Calis Beach Park.  Could be it is a new council park .... not sure.  Below that is the only other change which is at the back of the Calis Beach Park (where the car park and shelter stood last year) looks like there might be some work going on here and the renovation on the building next to it .. can't remeber what this area was called before the road and Calis beach Park came through!!





Some beach shots





Wooly lawn mowers (close cropping for the use of) - taken at back of Telmessos



Who you looking at??



This next section is what I refer to as 'The Bridges of Ciflik County' ...... a good name for a film perhaps?







Heading back out of injun territory ... is this what they call a busman's holiday?



And finally where's the Gin 'n Tonic when you need it?

I hadn't realised that was Injun country.

I think we'll have to set up a checkpoint outside Sunset Beach - I'm sure we can get a job lot of 90/180 Visa stamps from somewhere.

Seriously though  - many thanks for the pics - keep them coming.

Thank you for taking the time to post the pictures. Gives me hope that spring is just around the corner and returning to calis for the summer is getting closer.

Him good scout man! Chief say "Hi"


Thanks again Peter! I really appreciate the Koca Calis pictures and the ones of Saglik.

For those that don't know the area the canal often overflows in the winter. It looks a little high at the moment but hopefully the reed clearing has prvented any major flooding this winter.
