The last video taken of Madeleine McCann.

I think Sadie is correct that the foliage was freshly clipped.

I have two photographs

I don't know how to add them here sorry.

I still don't believe they had an adequate view of 5a though.

Thank you Sunny.

Sadie stated that the foliage had just been cut back before the 3rd. There is no evidence of that. Both of your photographs appear to be later. Further in the second photograph posted the angle stops us having a true idea of how high the foliage is.

There is a photograph, posted several times on this forum, which accompanied an interview with Paul Luckman I think, which shows the foliage a day or so after the disappearance and you can clearly see the foliage obscures the view of all but the very top of 5a.

I like your photos, but unfortunately none are dated
 ... and none are taken from the angle that Gerry had his view

Thankyou for taking the trouble to find them.

No problem Sadie. The reason I picked those two were there was a policeman outside the apartment and the other had sky news people there so I made the assumption they were close to the date of Madeleine's disappearance.

You have failed to produce proof that the bushes on the outside wall, the bushes that obscured the tapas friends view, were cut just before Madeleine’s disappearance. It shows neither grace nor integrity to let such misinformation pass without comment.

I think one is the 8th of May so close but not close enough for our purposes.

How much can foliage grow in 5 days fgs?!

[faithlilly]

The 8th of May photograph is taken at an angle which makes the height of the bushes impossible to gauge.

Your photographs from the night seem to show only the veranda foliage clearly. Do you have a clearer photograph, from the night of the disappearance, that shows clearly the foliage on the wall bordering the path that runs in front of 5a ? That is the foliage that obscured the patio door.

Which side of the path do you think this foliage was on?  The path was East -West so was it on the South side or the North?

There was a photo looking across to the apartments

If you scroll down to the bottom of this link there is a photograph of the front of 5a with a police on the pavement at the side ( Who Owns 5a )  which suggests it was taken close to the disappearance. Notice the height of the bush at the front.

The bushes in the PJ photos are obviously recently trimmed.

The ones from the night ?

[Brietta]

Please bear in mind what the topic of the thread is, folks.  I'm deleting nothing here to allow John to decide what to do with the Off Topic posts as they are interesting; but please get back to the topic TY

The ones from the night ?

Yes.

Rachael Oldfield said her view was limited to the top of the patio doors because of the foliage. She was there on 3rd May. No-one here was there, so why not accept Rachael's testimony?

Reply 'Erm well kind of the top half really'.

1578 'Okay'.
 Reply "Yeah you know, I didn't get a full you know, you couldn't get a full view sort of right in, cos there were bushes, there were bushes and stuff there, erm'.
