Pier

A thin slither on the horizon was enough to let the sun burst through some epic colour into the sky. I wish I’d taken a phot of the castle behind me because it was a surreal orange fortress.

The idea was to get a shot of the cruise ship but it was taking way too long and the light was turning quickly. Still always nice to watch the sunrise down here.

Seeing this guy fishing at sunrise made me really want to take it up another pass-time. But, for now I will stay behind the camera and prepare for hopefully a dramatic autumn and winter!

Still waiting for that 2022 ultimate sunrise! These clouds thinned out pretty quickly as I left home so didn't quite live up to expectations but hopefully with the warmer weather comes some epic storm clouds.

A welcome sight back to our shores, the first of many cruises scheduled for the season.

This was a bit of an afterthought. The sky looked promising earlier but I couldn’t make up my mind where I wanted to be.

I try to save this location for special, colourful sunrises and this one was no exception. I had a little issue wit the waves crashing over behind me which was a bit sketchy but I used myself as a shield and stuck with it and I was quite pleased with the results.

In my eyes, the Spring Equinox marks the start of summer. From her on it’s only going to get better. Warmer weather, sunnier and longer days and so much more to do.
Couldn’t think of a nicer way to start the Spring to be honest.

Bitterly cold again, made a schoolboy error of leaving my gloves in the car. Still, the walk back up got the blood pumping. I had hoped the sun would light up the pier but it rises too far north now. Probably should have tried this in the winter but this pier is only exposed when the tide is below 3.5m so it can only be done early a few days every couple weeks.

Finishing off the last few days of this year with something a little less strenuous on the legs. Although it was a little uninspiring, there were two seals swimming around the harbour, one of which came right up the the breakwater and just stared at me for a minute then got spooked by a fishing boat.

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!

As pretty as it was, I had to use my body as a windshield up here this morning. Time to bring the thermals back out I think.

I’ll be honest, I’m a little bit bored of this area but when time is against you and you know it’s about to kick off, it’s a great spot to be in.

It had potential and it didn’t disappoint. This one certainly turned a few heads this evening.

Had a proper risk analysis moment with this one. Even at low tide the strong winds were bringing the sea over the pier and a massive rain cloud was edging closer. I had about 10 minutes to pull something off and for 2-3 of those minutes the sky pumped out some dreamy colours.

The pontoons should be filling up with visiting yachts by now but instead, only the distant humming of the fishing boats could be heard.

The many sides of Les Amarreurs Bay. Early spring, with a hint of summer. Felt good!

The reason I set my alarm an hour before sunrise every single day of the year (apart from hangover days)!

A dull flat morning, probably should have stayed in bed. I made it though and won’t venture home until I’ve at least attempted to create something.
