Looking at Port of Calvi from the Citadelle

Yes, Sir! Congratulations! The first photo was from the Calvi Marina, looking at the mountains and the mist that rises each evening to give that particular image.

You're next!

Coincidentally, I saw this tower in holiday pictures of friends.  Small world.

Wikipedia: The Byzantine Tower of Ouranoupoli (also known as Prosfori, or "The Offering") was built by Emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos during the 13th century, who placed it under the jurisdiction of VatopediMonastery. However, in 1922, the Greek government confiscated the area from the monastery to accommodate Greek refugees from Turkey during the population exchange between Greece and Turkey. In 1928, Sydney Loch and his wife Joice NanKivell Loch moved into the tower, where they maintained a presence for decades as they used it as an important meeting place for both monks and laymen passing to and from Mount Athos. The Lochs also owned a carpet-weaving enterprise in Ouranoupoli, employing many locals.[6]
