The Rock - the North end of Gibraltar |
 |
Monument to the "Pillars of Hercules"
-Gibraltar on the north and Djebel Musa on the south of the straits of
Gibraltar. |
 |
South end of Gib looking across the strait to
the Tif Mountains of Africa. Barracks and other military stuff. |
 |
Man-made tunnel leading to Michaels Cave, the
largest of 150 caves on the Rock. |
 |
Replica of the first ever Neanderthal skull
which was
discovered in Michael's cave in 1848. The find was ignored for eight
years until the species namesake skull was discovered in Germany's
Neander Valley in 1856. |
 |
It is a real cave. |
 |
The little scoundrel is finishing up MY ice Cream! |
 |
The legend says as long as the Barbary Apes
remain on the Rock, the British will rule the Rock. A new generation
to perpetuate the legend. They are fed twice daily, yet they steal ice cream,
cameras and purses whenever they can. |
 |
The North end of Gibraltar Harbour - note the
two defensive guns from WWII. |
 |
The Great Siege Tunnel - 54 kilometers of
tunnel carved out in 1779 - 82 for gun emplacements - rubble from the
construction was thrown between the Rock and Spain, creating a Peninsula
and eventually becoming the runway. |
 |
The cliff face which the tunnel parallels. |
 |
The runway between Gib and La Linea, looking
north toward the town of La Linea. |
