LITTLE CHAPEL

11.12.20

A festive looking Little Chapel with the added blue lights which I think really add life to the building at night. I’ve been informed there’s been complaints to do with religious beliefs and the colors of the church so FYI, they are only switched on between 16:00 and 20:00 during December.

NATIVITY II

10.12.20

Today was Alana’s turn to perform her role as a sheep. Bless her, she has way more confidence in front of a crowd than I ever did (or have). Scary thing is, next year will be her last nativity before heading off to secondary school!

SKYFALL

05.12.20

After an hour round trip to Pleinmont this morning, the only shot I actually liked was the rain falling behind Herm. Pretty much sums up the weather for the day I think. Stay warm, I’m off to eat steak and drink beer all day.

TOWN ALLEY

03.12.20

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!

SAINTS PIER

01.12.20

The first day of the meteorological winter, observed from Saints Bay. The tides were perfect and just enough hazy cloud on the horizon to keep the highlights balanced. 30 days left and that would be six years non stop daily photography (2162 days to date). I’ve filled nearly 8TB of storage and many more GB’s thrown away to make space. In my mind, I’m still only getting started!

FADING LIGHT

25.11.20

With the shortest day just over three weeks away, daylight hours are limited. Overcast days are a thing we just get used to but with dullness comes new challenges. Rain wont stop me searching and there’s always a little detail which catches my eye like this flame like leaf sat against the dark rotten leaves.

TEN

24.11.20

Our not so little girl turned 10 today! The slow but ever more apparent transition into her teens is not something I’m ready for but she’ll always be my little angel. Something she said a few days ago stuck with me. We talked about friends and at the end, she told me I was one of her best friends. That right there is where it all makes you a proud parent.

CHRISTMAS SQUARE

22.11.20

Christmas seems to have been brought upon us a little earlier than normal. Not that I’m complaining, I love Christmas. Great effort on the town lights again though.
