We just couldn't resist another trip back to the tower, so, with a couple of other people in tow, we headed back out there. The weather wasn't as welcoming as it had been on our first trip - half way along the causeway out to the building, it started pelting with rain! Despite this, we stuck with our plans and had another look around, then had to make a dash for the mainland as the tide began to come in around us!
NOTE: all enlarged images open in a pop-up window, so blocking software should be switched off.

A yin-yang symbol painted where one of the guns used to stand. It's still graffiti, but at least it's more artistic than the rest! |

A prime example of the less artistic graffiti that can be found. |
