It's the time of year when the cruise liners migrate to different destinations. The Crystal Symphony arrived late morning from Ijmuiden, the port for Amsterdam, and spent the day at anchor in glorious sunshine off St Peter Port Harbour. The photo is taken from the cliff path on the east coast of Guernsey which affords views of the other Channel Islands. In the foreground are the outlying works of Fort George, and on the horizon is the island of Alderney.
The liner dominates the view of Castle Cornet, a popular visit for cruise liner guests on short visits to Guernsey. It's a 15 minute walk along the sea front to the entrance of the Castle. In the foreground is the "Noonday Gun", fired at noon every day when the Castle is open. In two weeks time the liner will be sailing past South Beach, Miami taking home the American guests on board.
