Photographic Post Set up at Wylfa Head

A metal post has been set into a concrete bloc at the highest point of Wylfa Head.
The sign on the construction notice described it as a photographic post.
Not sure how this works as it vibrates violently in even moderate wind.

Meetings about Nuclear Waste

Just seen on BBC web site that there are meeting today and tomorrow for people to discuss nuclear waste. Committee on Nuclar Waste Management.
Not seen another announcement, so can't go.
Wonder how many people are happy for the new power station, but don't want nuclear waste storage on the island?
I'm not in favour of either....

Skerries Tidal Array Suspended

Siemens announced today that they were suspending the proposal for a tidal generation array off the Skerries.
So much for 'Energy Island'.
Perhaps it will help get Anglesey back to setting tourism as a major part of its economic planning.
