Sunrise
28.07.21
I’ve missed a decent morning cloud formation. This mornings was pretty cool, if you’re into that kind of thing!

It’s hard to put into words how beautiful it was this morning. Almost completely flat seas as far as the eye can see. This is one of those mornings I’ll remember for a long time.

20 degrees at 05:30 is not bad going for Guernsey. Spend the best part of 11 hours down on the beach today and it felt like a proper little beach holiday. Almost forgotten what clouds look like but I think we’ll see a few in the coming days!

Another stunning weekend on the rock soaking up the sun. Started nice and early on Havelet, trying to frame this yacht before the sun got too intense.

Kicking off the return of summer with a little hike down to Fermain Moorings. As soon as the sun came up you could feel the warmth hit you in the face, add to that the gentle sounds of the sea and the Oyster Catchers chatting away, it couldn’t get any more beautiful.

The most south easterly point of the island, St Martins Point. A few hundred steps down to an amazing place, watching the fishing boats chugging past and the mesmerising currents flowing through.

A trek I’ve become very familiar with over the year, one that gets easier every time you walk it. The rewards on a calm summer morning are more than worth it. Probably spent just over an hour sat down here, occasionally checking the camera.

The house prices in Guernsey are unbelievably f**king stupid at the moment, it actually takes the piss. But (there’s always a but with me), when you concider the luxurious lifestyle we have and the views some properties offer, it kind of makes sense. The silhouette of the table and chairs caught my eye, while admiring a view that I’ll probably never afford!

It’s not easy getting up for sunrise in the summer but just being out there watching the world wake up is something that drives me to keep doing it. No more than three cars passed, a few cyclists and a load of birds singing in the trees.

A classic for any local adventurer. With fairly clear skies I needed something with not too much focus on the sky and as the light intensified, this just made itself.

My plan was to chase the thunder and lightning in the early hours but that was short lived. Instead, once the gorgeous orange glow burst over the horizon, I focused my efforts on the rain clouds heading in from behind. As an added bonus, a rainbow appeared in the mix.

5am, L’Ancresse common. A beautiful soft mist covering almost the entire low lying land.

With the impending rain storms, I knew an early rise was my only chance to capture something worth looking at. It started pretty bland but as the clouds started to roll in, things started to look a little brighter.

Blissful, calm morning at Rousse. The low tide was pushing me back really quickly but I stood my ground until the tide was nearing the top of me boots. It’s so flat here you can quickly find yourself 3quite far out to sea without realising it.

Getting up before sunrise is now part of my daily routine, rain or shine, winter or summer. I find that watching the day unfold really helps get me motivated and productive. Some people run, some meditate. I earth watch.

Taking in the fantastic views the island has to offer. The air was so clear you could see distant details of the French coast. Setting a long exposure with no clouds is always hit and miss so I had to carefully balance the light and dark areas.

Barely enough time to open my eyes this morning before hitting the road to watch the day unfold. Couldn’t let this one go unseen.

In my eyes, the Spring Equinox marks the start of summer. From her on it’s only going to get better. Warmer weather, sunnier and longer days and so much more to do.
Couldn’t think of a nicer way to start the Spring to be honest.

I’ve shot this angle a few times before over the years but they’ve always been missing something. After an hour of patience, the sun rose over the castle to give that little extra lift I think it needed.
