Colourful Detailed View of Abandoned WW2 Gun Emplacement, Coastline, Mediterranean and Islands of Caprera and La Maddalena from Baia Sardinia


View of the coastline of Northern Sardinia and the Islands of La Maddalena & Isola Caprera with yachts and ruin of gun emplacement at Batteria Battistoni at Baia Sardinia in Sardinia, Italy. The Coastline of the Costa Smeralda in the North of Sardinia is fringed with ornate granite rocks. This soft rock has been sculpted, by the elements, into amazing formations. This picture shows detail of the granite coastline with a ruined property once used by the military. The islands of La Maddalena and Caprera lie between the North of Sardinia and Corsica, which can be faintly seen in the far distance. This area is very popular with sailors and hosts the annual Rolex World Championship yacht races each September. In the far distance beneath the cloud is the island of Corsica. The natural areas on the Sardinian coast are protected by the Coastal Conservation Agency.
