I thought it might look more like reality! These red roofs often look bright in the sun!

Longroute was asking me if the heron tree was near the river. So, I am showing this photo of Serge, where you can see the office building behind the crane, and just behind, you can just see a paleblue roof which belongs to the warehouses where the elephant lives.

This the prototype of the Elephant built in 2005, for the anniversary of Jules Verne's death. "Royal de Luxe" travel all over with their machines; I think this one was dismantled and parts of it were used to build the new one.
The difference is that it was activated by several men, whereas the new one is activated by one man only, in his kind of tractor-cabin.

This is the office building of the former Shipyard. It's situated just behind the warehouses and is also a familiar sight on the photos of the elephant or of the other featured sites of The Island.
The building is still used as offices by different organisations., like the "Centre Interculturel de Documentation", in favour of the mixing of different cultures present in Nantes, due a fair amont of immigrants in the city.

Another view of the "Heron tree", with people enjoying the walk and the view on one of the branches.
The church dome in the background is often seen on the photos of The Island. It belongs to "Notre Dame de Bon Port".
