Church and Birds
The church towers in northern Brittany were very diverse and changing up in style. What was pretty common with them was the amount of ravens circeling them and landing on them.

The harbour is filled
Here is an image of the harbour of Roscoff with the tide fully in. Do you remember the images I showed a few weeks ago about the empty harbour? Look back in the blog history and see what it looked like just hours before these images here with the bottom of the harbour fully exposed and all the ships on the dry.

The Church of Roscoff
When walking from our hotel to downtown in search of a place for dinner we came by the city church. The towers with the see through building style are really common in the area of Roscoff and seem something like a local specialty.

The water is coming back
As the water was coming back we left the view and checked into our hotel in a nice, local place not too far away from here.

The man in the Harbour
If a man was in the harbour, all the way on the bottom of the basin, I would normally be worried.
This here, though, was no issue for me at all. It was more a question of waiting for the right moment when the man, dressed in dark stepped infront of the part of the wall that was lit brightly to contrast off of it.

A dry harbour
When we got to Roscoff we had not intended to stay there for the night. We actually had not quite figured out, yet, where we wanted to stay, so we broke out the maps and started planning. While doing so we enjoyed the view of a very unusual harbour. Despite the fact that the high tide was coming in again already the water level was so low that the entire harbour was dry. People were walking around big ships and smaller boats on the ground of the harbour.
We watched the water come back while deciding to stay and booked a hotel online that was just on the other side of downtown.

A window to the coast
This coastal layout is really amazing. Rocks piled up to the sky in some places and sometimes, if you climb around a little, you get to see some really pretty views through a window in the rock. This is the lighthouse next to the Eiffel house.

A broken horn
The gargoyle in the top of the building I showed you yesterday was missing one horn. Good omen or bad?

Gargoyles
This building, on the hiking path at the côte granit rose, Brittany, was decorated with gargoyles, weathered down by the ocean weathers.

Beautiful Bay
This bay was way more filled in when we came by on the hike back. On the hike out it looked prettier. So here is your image: Côte Granit Rose.

A gate in the rock
Here are rocks piled up in the strangest ways. These here form almost a perfect gate to watch the crashing waves through.

Red Rocks and some birds
The côte granit rose in Brittany is really toned red. Here you see some really pretty rocks with some birds on them.

Climbing
There are the wrong shoes. Really the wrong shoes. But the rock is forgiving. It is sandpaper on the hands and I was not happy climbing on it.

A funny rock monster
I walked by this rock on the côte granit rose and I had to - irrevokably - think of a rock monster. A green, froglike monster. And I do not get it out of my head. May I introduce you?
Here it is, for all of you that wonder if you can actually see the same monster I saw:
