A 50m superyacht designed by Dutch naval architects Hessen Yachts. Sleeps 12 with a crew of 10. Looking at the for sale sites, I wouldn’t expect you’d get any change from £15 million for this!

The last day of British Summer Time, although I think we can all agree the summer did one in mid September!
This was about 30 minutes before sunrise.

As pretty as it was, I had to use my body as a windshield up here this morning. Time to bring the thermals back out I think.

One of those days where I’ve struggled to narrow down to one favourite photo. So many dramatic skies to capture but I settled for this one from this morning. Strong, contrasting light mixed in with the heavy rain clouds pushing in from France.

Final day of September and it was pretty wet. I try to save the night shots for the winter when daylight is limited but I had to pull out a wildcard this evening.
Taken from the half way up Constitution Steps overlooking the rooftops of Fountain Street and the Bordage.

Looking out over St Peter Port and beyond from Minot Plateau car park, which I believe used to be a cemetery for St Barnabus church.

Feeling a little uninspired this morning, I parked up and had a wonder lanes the roads off Victoria Road. Almost gave up but then saw this view down over town.

I’ll be honest, I’m a little bit bored of this area but when time is against you and you know it’s about to kick off, it’s a great spot to be in.

Many times I’ve stumbled up this street. Those days are almost a distant memory but for the younger generation, it seems Thursday is the new Friday.

This is the third morning in a row I’ve tried this shot, either the light was too harsh or too flat. My rule is, if your not happy with it after three attempts, move on and find another subject. Luckily there were small pockets of light which illumined the buildings in the distance and I was almost happy with it. HDR blend of three images.

We may not be able to celebrate Liberation Day properly, but the island is looking amazing this year.

A recurring theme over the last week, this time low tide on the Fishing Quay in town.

It’s that in between season when things can turn from good to bad in a very short space of time. This morning was a complete contrast to late afternoon.

Tried not to overthink things today. Set up a tripod with my back to the rain and just waited till someone placed themselves in the frame just how I wanted.

The Old Quarter of St Peter Port looking very festive in December. I have to be honest, this part of town looks great, the rest, not so much. I’d be happy to throw in a tenner (along with a few thousand others) just to see something with a bit more of a wow factor next year! Freshen things up a bit. The same old, different year.

Another mad dash to find a spot this morning. Not quite as spectacular as yesterday, still worth a shot though.

A little piece of Guernsey history. Back in my late teens this was our Saturday afternoon cafe of choice for a quick pint and some food. Think it was called Saint Pierre’s Cafe.
Tried to translate the name but all I could get was ‘Wight of the Queen’!

Playing with the new blue lights installed around the market. It’s that time of year when daylight shooting is limited during the week so I feel a few more night shoots over the final 65 days!

With the digital world and chain stores taking over our lives, little independent shops are disappearing fast. That said, this little paper shop has been around as far back as I can remember and has always been a a great convenient shop. Packet of Rizla and a drink, in and out in less than minute.
