View of Port Blair from atop the Cellular Jail watchtower

The Cellular Jail may have had an infamous past, but the views from atop the watch tower are simply stunning.

 
There are satellite dishes amidst coconut trees nearby. Then we have the bluish green waters of the Bay of Bengal. And in the yonder, we have the views of many tropical islands that are dense and green.


Very picturesque indeed!

    the pictures in your previous post were a bit dark and these are so light and happy. very interesting contrast..

    am glad they didn't tear down the buildings after independence, people should know their history and in a twisted way, this place could remind us of the importance of humantiy

    :-) Well, that in a way is the difference between a dungeon and open air :-)

    Absolutely, I couldn't agree with you more!!
