L'Ancresse
12.12.22
I headed to L’Ancresse in the hope of a frosty carpet across the common but it wasn’t quit cold enough.
The skies were brewing up nicely on the horizon but the colour never really popped.

Preparing myself to run and take cover watching the rain heading in straight towards me. Almost had a rainbow in the bag!

Unveiled by the Queen herself, way way back in 2000, now one of my go to ‘safety shots’ when the sky looks like it’s going to get interesting.

Not quite suited to the title ‘September Rain’ but it was trying to force out a full on rainbow. As usual, I arrived as it was fading away, although the contrasting light was epic. The autumnal golden hours are beginning to kick in nicely!

Awesome cloud day if your a weather geek like me. Sun, cloud, rain, thunder, lighting and colourful skies to end.
I’ve also wanted a fresh perspective on this kiosk for years but never had the right vibes. This felt right for me and I can now let it go!

Another day of not knowing wtf I want to shoot or how to go about it. Truth is I think the long summer and early starts and late nights has just taken it’s toll and I’m ready for winter mode.

Quite literally, it does rock. My childhood playground and a true gem of the north coast.

Early Saturday morning along L’Ancresse coast road. Always a good place to be on a fine summers day!

Gorgeous, still evening at one the highest points on the common. I had to add me in for scale.

The gap on the horizon looked promising but the wind pushed the thicker moody clouds east. An almost could have been moment.

The mist was a little bit thick to get down low but managed an abstract of the loophole and the radar station in the background.

When you spend so much time doubting yourself and contemplating life, its easy to forget how a dramatic sunset can pick you back up. Good old L’Ancresse, a place that holds many happy memories!

The sky cleared leaving nice hazy glow behind. Even a hint of a rainbow from the rain clouds the passed over.

An opportunity not to be mist! Out on the common this morning, trying not to fall back on shooting the same angles. There was a dog walker in the scene a few minutes earlier which helped but the sun was a bit lower and it didn’t give the same golden glow as this one.

I absolutely love L’Ancresse when it’s shrouded by mist. You have to get up to higher ground to really appreciate the view because lower down it was like being in a cloud!

Last day of November, finishing off with a classic Guernsey scene and a stunning rainbow. I sat through three downpours to get this shot but my persistence paid off. Luckily I found a rock to shelter behind and the rain was driving in from the west so the lens stayed relatively rain free. There was also a lot of careful planning in my mind as to where to be, along with the help of some basic sun calculation apps and rain radars.

This morning had a proper wintry, icy feel to it. My summer rain jacket is no longer sufficient for the morning adventures.

Having carefully planned to head somewhere else this morning, I woke up late and left myself very little time for travel. There’s a field by my house which is always covered with a layer of mist on clear, calm nights so it’s I know whenever there’s mist in the field, it’s very likely the common land will be misty too.
So calm and peaceful when it’s like this!

Pre season stormy weather training this morning. Got an absolute pasting from the sand bowing across the beach. I tried catching some of the sand blowing down towards the sea but most of it was blowing horizontally.
