Our little iconic clock tower. Even though we have clocks on us all day, I always take a quick look at the time driving past, just to check i’m properly synced.

A little continental influence in the heart of St Peter Port. Town looks great in summer, if you ignore all the scaffolding and empty shops!

More like the Winter Solstice!!! Same temp in places across the UK as it was 6 months ago in the winter. It’s a milestone in the year for me because it marks (almost) the middle of the year. The plans I had were out the window pretty early this morning so I had to mooch around town the evening to salvage a shot.

First introduced from Mexico in the 1830’s, these daisies have made themselves homes across the island growing out of hundreds of walls, paths and doorways. Technical name is Mexican fleabane.

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!

76 years of freedom on the rock, finished off with a bang! Viewed from the top of Arcade Steps, the best vantage point of St Peter Port in my option.
My method, use bulb mode with a remote cable. Adjust the exposure to suit 2-3 seconds. Any longer and the fireworks just turn into a blur.

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.

One of the most densely populated areas in town, probably looking very similar to what it did 100 years ago.

It may not be a dazzling metropolis but it’s uniquely Guernsey and it was looking picture perfect on the way past this evening.

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.

A sunrise this good needed a view to match it. Fiery view from the top of Arcade Steps.

Braving the elements, umbrella in hand, the opportunity was there. Amazing weather to be out in though! Hail, rain, thunder, sunshine and wind. It’s a constant battle to keep dry and protect your gear but I love to challenge myself each day (some more than others).

First day back at work and relentless rain really doesn’t make things easy when you just want a nice simple shot. After all these years, one thing that I have come to terms with is that not every day will be your best shot but, things can only get better!

The shortest day has passed but the nights are still long. It’s cold and wet but if you look around closely, there’s daffodils starting to appear. Spring will be here before you know it but for now, enjoy the cosy nights in front of the TV and Christmas with the people you love.

Beauty of a sunrise on my way to work on Friday. Love the view from up here!

The rain got the better of me today. Sheltered in this alley between Contree Mansell and Mansell Street, it was the only shot I had the enthusiasm for. Interestingly though, these buildings date back the the mid 1600’s so there must be some interesting stories from around here. You can only wander!

Terracotta chimney pots as far as the eye can see, lining the rooftops of almost every terraced house up Victoria Road.

Scanning the streets of St Peter Port for some inspiration. Always found something really authentic and interesting about this little shop. All the big chains and high street shops that have come and go over the years have nothing against the handy convenient stores.

Amazing colours in the sky this morning. Always puts you in a good mood seeing things like this.
