Fog & Signal Station at St Martins Point.
I came here yesterday but the sun was only visible through a tiny break on the horizon so I decided to return this morning with a bit more light in my favour. I had to shield the camera from the wind and wipe the filters after each shot which was a pain in the arse because all my cleaning cloths are now coated in salty water.

A sunrise this good needed a view to match it. Fiery view from the top of Arcade Steps.

For a brief moment this morning, there was a small reminder of why I still do this every day! These sights have been rare in the last few months but I try to make sure I witness as many of them as possible and always aim to improve on the last. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it’s best to move on. Bordeaux is pretty much on my doorstep which is why I’ve spent so much time here over the years. Five minutes after this, the rain rolled in and that was it for the day. Back to the usual British weather.

No time to get out early before work at the moment so the best I can do is hover round the bedroom windows like a dog waiting for its owner to return home. An eyesore on the skyline but I try to find beauty around it.

The 5th day of non stop rain and it’s getting harder and harder to find inspiration. I don’t really want to push the weather sealing on the camera too much more!
However, the misty rain rolled in and there was only on place I could think of to make the best out of a pretty crap day. Think this is the third version this year, it’s just up a path from Saints Bay road. It reminds me of the creature form Stranger Things.

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…

Slept through the whole thunder storm last night, until the last massive bang over our house. This was the aftermath…
I had minutes to peg it back to my car before the next shower rolled in!

I could choose to sleep but when you can watch this and listen to the wildlife waking up, it makes it all worth while.

The island’s beaches have always been a great source of inspiration for me. Les Amarreurs is my ‘go to’ place close to home. Technically a working harbour, there’s always something to shoot.

If Guernsey did views! Oh wait, they do and they’re right on your doorstep. This was my second visit today because why not? This morning’s fog was just too dense but by midday the fog had lifted enough to get a decent view across to Icart.

Exploring the accessible caves at Petit Bot. Fresh rockfall on the beach made the other caves a bit too risky. Crap weather made life a little bit tricky today!

Kept a close eye on the cloud cover last night and took a gamble and left home at 04:30. Didn’t get far but watched another impressive sunrise.

Believe it or not, this morning was really pleasant. Hardly any wind and the sea was almost silent. The only real noise was the birds on the rocks and the distant humming of a fishing boat heading out for the day.

The islands coastline is stunning all year round but when the Thrift returns it transforms the landscape. Add a rainy sunset into the mix and it’s a magical sight.

Spring is always a magical time of year and another essence is the ducklings. Expect a few more photographs in the coming weeks!

For all the early mornings and late nights, I take these moments as a reward for all the hundreds of failed attempts you never get to see. Very happy with this one :)

Sun, sea, sand and a colourful sky thrown in for good luck. Enjoying the simple things in life that money can’t buy!

After sunset on Vazon beach. The thin layer of high cloud picking up some beautiful colours which unfortunately i missed by minutes.

75 years have past but the reminders of our islands darker times are still present.
