My Jersey Island Journey – Part 8 – Val de la Mare Reservoir

On the second to last day in Jersey I visited Val de la Mare Reservoir. To my great surprise at one end there was a large dam holding back the water which provided multiple photography opportunities. Some of the photographs I took went back to my old minimal architectural style which I think the dam…

My Jersey Island Journey – Part 7 – Old Rusty Tractors

A surprisingly interesting part of my holiday was when I visited Le Greve De Lecq on the north coast. There was quite a small beach and a couple of cafes and the all important ice cream stand along the beach, a little further up was the old British barracks and watermill. Walking along the beach…

My Jersey Island Journey – Part 6 – Grosnez Castle & Bunkers

Mid-week I travelled to St. Ouen to see another lighthouse, unfortunately the lighthouse was just a small signal station, nothing as grand as I had previously seen. Something else of interest at the site however was Grosnez Castle. Dating back to the 14th Century Grosnez is a ruin of its former self, with just one…

My Jersey Island Journey – Part 5 – Glass Church

After my visit to the German defences at Batterie Lothringen I visited St. Matthews Church, more commonly known as the Glass Church. Originally built in 1840 as a church of ease for local residence unable to access the main Parish church, it became famous after the French artist Rene Lalique was commissioned in 1930 to produce…

My Jersey Island Journey – Part 4 – German Defence

It turned out to be quite a happy accident, I have a great passion for exploring old and abandoned buildings, but when you combine abandoned with the historical era of WW2 it becomes especially exciting. The picture below shows a German…

My Jersey Island Journey – Part 3 – Animals

Day three of my holiday was mainly centred around a visit to the Durrell Wildlife Park. I’m not especially a fan of taking pictures of animals that are in zoos, primarily because you can usually see all the fences and other man made objects inside the enclosures and to me it kind of defeats the…

My Jersey Island Journey – Part 2 – Harbours & Castles

The first day that we arrived on Jersey was assigned to finding the accommodation and then establishing the local area; places to see, to eat and things to do. We only had a small amount of time in the evening left after flying in so we decided to take a walk along the coast and…

My Jersey Island Journey – Part 1 – Home

From the dates of 6th July to 13th July I was on holiday. I travelled with my family across the channel to Jersey, not a million miles away, only a 45 minute flight in fact, but it was still a brilliant opportunity to experiment with my photography in an unfamiliar land. The following few blog…
