I almost ditched these shots because of the blown out highlights but I really liked the light over the rooftops and the way it catches the granite wall to the left.
5 shot vertical panoramic to maximize the sky, whilst still retaining the different terraced levels in the foreground that makes our town so unique. My ideal 'Postcard Guernsey' shot.

Finding insects other than flies at this time of year is extremely difficult. I scoured about an acre of land and eventually came across one ladybird taking in the midday sun.
Focus is a little soft on the eyes but I like the soft colors in this particular shot.

When the fog finally cleared!

Had a pretty small window with this one. The tide was crashing up against the pool, barely missing my camera. The seaweed gives you an idea of the of the challenge!

When 12 degress feels like summer, you know the recent weather must have been cold. So warm I even convinced Danni to trek to Moulin Huet for lunch!

The weather turned a little bit late afternoon and kind of ruined my plans for today so here is backup Plan B.

After waiting patiently for quite a while this pheasant clocked me when I thought it was safe to move closer and get my shot. The only image in focus of him running away into the marshy wetlands.
Nice to have a break from landscapes for a few days though, enjoying the challenge of finding something from nothing. Its how I remember the start of my adventures back in 2015.

With a total of 16 different light switches, I finally settled for the uplighters which were fitted with some pleasant coloured LED's.
A sensitive modern twist on a building over a thousand years old!

They call us Guernsey folk 'Donkeys' because of our stubborness (apparently) but after these donkeys had been out in last nights gales, I'd say its a symbol of strength and character :)

Its a beach that's grown on me over the years. I used to see an overwhelming maze or unsightly rocks with little to no interest but now I see a goldmine with hundreds of different compositions.
11.02.18
Plenty of low clouds around today producing some spectacular bursts of light in between.
10.02.18
Been a bit of lazy tv day for us but we did manage to get up to Delancey for an hour with the kids. You wouldn't believe how difficult it was to get this shot sharp with the g-force trying to throw me off the roundabout, plus 1/60th shutter!

The Inner Street Arcade in the centre of the Market Building.

Lovely golden light over the headland this morning, just so peaceful as well. Not as sole or a breath of wind.

The last rays of winter sunshine fading away out west.

Guernsey's answer to the motorway services!
A shot I've attempted a few times before and failed miserably but this morning I couldn't have asked for better light. I did have to ask someone politely to move their car which didn't go down too well. If you don't ask you don't get!

Nightfall over St Peter Port on an almost snowy day. Bitterly cold again but I think the wind direction complemented the cloud movement quite well.
04.02.18
Cold feet, cold hands, cold head but so worth standing around for. Easterly winds aligned the boats perfectly to the setting sun. Those clouds though!

Over 800 years old, the Benedictine Priory on Lihou island now lies in ruins but would once have been residence to a small community of Monks and their servants.
I wanted to try a shot with the spine wall running though the island but the tides were about to cover the only path back!

The southwest corner of Guernsey looking stunning this afternoon. Quite a risky scramble below the carpark at Le Prevote for this one.
