If you know the reservoir walk well, you can guess where these chicks live. They’ve almost tripled in the last few years and show no signs of slowing down.

COFFEE BREAK

Some moments you just can’t miss, even if it means running down the road unnoticed while everyone is having breakfast.

COBO

Nothing fascinates me more than the forces of nature but seeing Cobo taking a beating this morning makes you realise how vulnerable the low lying areas really are.

GEORGE STREET
in Photography
28.09.19
A shot I’ve wanted to take for years but never got round to it. I think this would work better late winter when the morning sun fills up the street a little more. Still a classic Guernsey street scene.

SEPTEMBER LIGHT
in Photography
27.09.19
This is the weather I crave over the summer. Gale force winds, violent seas and that gorgeous autumn light sits lower in the sky lifting the golden ferns on the cliff face.

Part of Guernsey’s only 5* hotel, the OGH is the closest you’ll get to the Ritz on the rock.

MONSOON SEASON

24.09.19
The Guernsey equivalent, in no way as extreme as some places on earth but when it rains, it rains hard. All this extreme weather comes with some stunning rewards.

SEPTEMBER RAIN

Autumn finally settling in and it was only a matter of time before a rainbow appeared. As soon as this rain cloud rolled in I knew where I had to be.

LE GOUFFRE

One of the advantages of this hobby is the amount of walking involved to get to the places I love. No one ever said it would be easy but these eyes have seen Guernsey in pretty much every way I had always imagined. Sun, rain, cloud, gales, snow, thunder, you name it, I’ve experienced it. I almost feel like I’ve completed an RPG game that’s taken 5 years to complete! The final boss is winter…

As far as fields go, how about this for a 5 star hillside view across the west coast.

THE BLUE ONE

After wearing out the shutter, I finally got my old dslr fixed which I used to love using for macro. The body and APSC lenses are super lightweight which really helps in handheld situations. Point is, the expensive gear isn’t necessarily the best in all situations.

LES NIAUX MILL

There’s been a mill on this site since the mid 1300’s with water flowing through from ancient streams along Talbot Valley. Recently overhauled and rebuilt by it’s owners it can easily generate and power a small house.

LE MOULIN COTTAGE
17.09.19
The stunning National Trust land tucked away in Quanteraine Valley. The waterwheel was being repaired but it turned my attention to the charm and character of the old Guernsey cottages. This cottage is over 150 years old, built in 1866!

AUTUMN GLOW

The iconic L’Ancresse Loophole Tower No.5. I’ve waited over a year for the right moment to get this shot. I wanted high clouds for the pinks and the ferns and grasses needed to be a golden brown to work. Think this was the right moment for me!

We took Milo for a much needed groom today. He was starting to look a little rough around the edges but now looks 10 times smaller and feels like a puppy again!
