Islands - St Marguerite and St-Honorat

These two islands known as "Iles de Lérins" are in the bay of Cannes (LFMD). They are used as a VFR reporting point, and they are just east of the LLZ / DME approach. The small one is St-Honorat, and the large one is St-Marguerite.


This picture has been taken by a pasenger, while I was busy flying the LLZ DME approach for runway 35. Usually, we have circlings to runway 17 because of sea breeze, but as it was approximately 10 o'clock in the morning, the wind was calm, so I've been cleared for a direct approach.

The burning building - a sad picture

Usually, flying gives kind of a magical view of the world as it passes below our wings. However, on this particular day, what we could see was quite sad.

This black smoke exactly in runway axis was coming from a building in fire in the middle of the city, shown on the second picture.
