True and False Gods

We went from one high place - the trig point - to another, the summit of Mount Toro. At 358m, Mount Toro isn't particularly high, but it is Menorca's highest point. You can tell this when you're there, from all the telecoms equipment and satellite dishes which compete for space on this high ground. Our next photo shows you what we mean ...


Not only were these 21st century icons competing with themselves for space and height, they were also vying for attention with a statue of someone really famous. Can you guess who?


We'll give you a close up in a minute, but the outstretched arms might give you a clue. The statue is of Christ, and quite rightly he does occupy the highest ground, with all the masts situated at a lower level.

While he gazed out at all the emblems of the 21st century gods we decided to focus our gaze on him, recognising that he is far more important than any modern means of communication.


Hopefully you agree with us.

Lots of love George & Yorkie xxx
