A little reminder that it wasn’t always about the snowflakes.

The fascinating Underground Hospital is open again. Always a good shout for a rainy day shot and a chance to experiment with colours.

Icy breeze up here this morning and the clear sky proved difficult to work with and this is one of the last shots I took before heading home.

Part of the submerged German trenches below the Pleinmont headland. It still amazes me how such an incredible network of tunnels and trenches were build in such a small amount of time.

One of the WWII remains I’ve been meaning to photograph for years but never got round to it. It’s listed on the Antiquities as an Aircraft Firing Range with three flak gun emplacements nearby. The 1945 aerial photo shows two structures either side about 100 metres long with a track leading directly to an airstrip where the airport is today.

Where heath and safety doesn’t exist. The wilder side of Guernsey with a darker history.

GERMAN TRENCHES

Being a tourist, exploring the eerie World War II german trenches surround the gun emplacement at Pleinmont. With the winds howling overhead, it gave me a little insight into what these soldiers endured, especially during the winter.
Next time you feel the need to moan about something, imagine fighting a war, not knowing if you’ll ever see your family again.
