Some days I’ll just drive the length of the island to unwind and listen to some flat out progressive trance on the the way. This is what I call a ‘grab shot’ but it feels very Guernsey!
I’m just passing the days till the big storms start rolling in so I can find that spark again.

Bit of a hit and miss day on the rock. Not a bbq on the beach day but there’s always fun to be had in the sand!

One of the many picturesque working harbours in GY land. The midday sun just about illuminating the beach just before it disappeared behind the clouds for the rest of the day!

For years and years I’ve always wondered what purpose this building had. After some digging I found out that, before being sold to private owners, it was owned by the Corporation of Trinity House of Deptford Strond (and formally as The Master, Wardens and Assistants of the Guild Fraternity or Brotherhood of the most glorious and undivided Trinity and of St Clement in the Parish of Deptford Strond in the County of Kent)
Basically it was managed by Trinity House which is a marine charity responsible for the maintenance of navigational aids and lighthouses around the British Isles.

First day of June and it was a scorcher! Spent my lunch roaming the coast around Rocquaine and Portelet, a little jealous of all the people enjoying the sea.

Taking myself out of my comfort zone for this. One of my biggest setbacks in photography is approaching strangers and asking them to take their photograph. Maybe it’s the fear of rejection or even the pressure to get it right in a few click. That said, put a pint between us and I could happily chat for hours! Either way, from what I’ve read, the more you ask the easier it gets.

Since I started working down Vazon, I seem to spend a lot more time at Portelet. I’ve always loved the fishing village vibe on the west coast and there’s never any shortage to photograph.
On another note, I realised over the weekend I’ve now been doing this daily project for 2000 days!

Another one of our stunning beaches. The daily struggles of deciding which one to visit!

Another stunning and warm day on the rock. Managed a nice trip out west at lunchtime, just wish I’d had by swimming gear with me.
