Just because I like cows. They’re like the goldfish of the countryside, basic animals but nice to look at and talk to :)

Starting to feel very festive in St Peter Port now the lights are back. I’ve always thought that the lights in the Old Quarter are much much better than the High Street!

DEATH'S HEAD HAWKMOTH

Not everyday you get to hold one of these bad boys. I could actually feel little pin pricks form it’s tiny claws gripping my hand! Half expected it to have a little nibble on my finger.
The name comes from a skull like pattern on it’s head.

Ambient rainstorms rolling on across the island this morning. This is the weather and light that the summer just doesn’t offer!

THE PEPPER POT

I remember the pepper pot from a very young age, always referring to it as ‘the ice cream’. Turns out it’s a great wind shelter and observation post too!

Edible yellow fungus Laetiporus, commonly know as chicken fungus because apparently it tastes like chicken!

NIGHT LIFE
in Photography
27.11.18
After yesterday’s adventures, today was like a slap in the face until it stopped raining on my way home. Saying that, shooting at night is great because the light doesn’t really change giving you more time to slow down.

Pure bliss down on the south coast this afternoon. The only footprints were those made by the birds. Found my spot and just waited for the right moment. It really is all about the light!

If you have an interest in the Guernsey Folklore ghost stories, this area is said to be home to La Bête De La Tour, a large black dog with bright red eyes and heavy chains who prowls the streets at night.

SECRET GARDEN

Spotted the tip of this bright vibrant tree driving along Rue a l’Eau. The grounds are bit unloved and the house boarded up which reminded me of a classic film I watched as a kid.

With winter just around the corner, the weather plays a big part in managing this project. The only way I can get through the winter months is to plan a few days in advance with different locations for different weather scenarios. When it all goes wrong, ill have to come up with a plan b, c or d!

MARBLE RUN

Dodging showers and slippery steps to get down here dry and in one piece. Definitely feeling the leg muscle and cardio improvements!

Another fine example of a classic and beautifully restored Guernsey farmhouse. The remains of the old water wheel are hidden on the gable end of the barn opposite.

Good or not, there’s a picture to be found anywhere you go. I nearly gave up with this area but spent a few more minutes looking and walking around to end with this.

The higher parishes were under a thick blanket of fog for most of the day. Probably pissed off a lot of travelers that couldn’t get a flight out the island!

The coastal woodlands almost completely stripped bare with a few leaves hanging on. One of those scenes where the fog adds atmosphere to give an eerie autumn mood.
