Bay

The shortest and darker day of the year but on the plus side, it means were back on the road to the glories of summertime!

Another stormy day, another rainbow hunt complete. The combo of sun, cloud and rain was perfect, it was just a case of waiting it out which luckily came sooner than I expected.

The calm after the storm! Not the prettiest bay in Guernsey but the views make up for it.

Almost a whole year I’ve waited to get down here for some stunning autumn light and this afternoon didn’t disappoint. A beautiful beach, and fascinating to observe the coastal erosion at the base of the cliffs.

I almost pulled the covers over my head this morning but me being me, got up anyway to check the sky and I could see it starting to pick up some colour 45 minutes earlier. A 5 mile drive later and a mad run down to Marble Bay I was greeted with this stunning sky. Sometimes a little extra effort goes a long way.
This is a good example of how the higher level clouds pick up the colour in the atmosphere.

After the last few days this seemed pretty good. The warm sun on my back and hardly any wind made it quite pleasant. I did hope for another rainbow but the rain was too far away.

The landscapes may be timeless but the ever changing tides creates opportunities that can’t easily be recreated. It’s a fine balance of light and motion that’s hard to predict but sometimes it just falls into place.

While the kids were entertained I wandered the vast rocky shores of Roquaine for a spot of crabbin. Found a few different species and some weird looking eels but this one was the biggest one I found.

It finally happened. Luckily I record backup jpg’s to the CF card but its still frustrating when you become so used to RAW files. The camera did warn me but I assumed it was a passing error. Backup your files people.

Sadly, today we said our goodbyes to my grandad ‘pappy’. I have many fond memories that have been circling around in my head but one we shared is the exploration of Guernsey coastline. He often spoke of diving the shipwrecks off the coast around here, even bringing us plates and cutlery from the wrecks to use at home!
Everyone deals with deaths in different ways and I wanted to express it in a way I think he’d appreciate.
We’ll all miss you and until we meet again, rest in peace x

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.

No.3 on my list of favourite south coast beaches. When you finally make it to the viewpoint, it’s kind of a standard Guernsey thing to just stop and have a good look at the beauty of it then head down and find a spot.

Saints Bay is undoubtably one of the finest bays on the south coast (second to Petit Port in my eyes). With higher tides, the pier makes a great place to chill and, if you fancy it, jump off the pier for a swim.

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!

This was not what I had planned, I set out to capture the fog over Herm and Jethou but I could see the sun illuminating the coast from round the corner so ran as fast as I could (and nearly died) to catch the light as it beamed over the hill.

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.

Through the pine trees looking out to Cobo. Another stunning day on the rock, although I still had to wear a few layers.
