After lunch the clouds started to roll in.

The sky is blue — where's the sunlight? (Note how the blue of the sky washes out the yellow of the hostel when unwarmed by sunlight.)
2512
We went on a tour of the pilot station. The way up to it is covered with chain-link mesh to Prevent Those Approaching From Being Hit By Objects Falling From The Towers.
2514
An upper level of the pilot station has a sweet deck with a sweet view.
2517
At my present longitude (eastern US), 59°N is up in the Ungava Peninsula. How about THAT.
2518
The tower sitting on the pilot station.
2522
The freestanding tower: the longer you look, the more attachments you find perched on its edges.
2523
And now for some tower-filtered village views.
2524
And to the north.
2525
And to the south.
2527
The room next to the deck.
2529
Tall sky.
2538
The big smooth rock along the southern shore. Can you spot the shipwreck?
2544
There seem to suddenly be MORE towers than before. I like the accreted look of the pilot station that is clearest from this direction.
2546
Some more vivid beetles! What u up 2 ??
2547
A semi-secret path and stair up the hill near the eastern end of the village, I think.
2554
We were challenged to a football match with the schoolchildren. Not a shin was left unbruised.*
2555
Brutal!† (*†not really.)
2566
The placement of the first bench.
