Description

Two years and four visits in the making, this beautiful cliff-path scene was finally captured after enduring a vicious shower of horizontal rain, hail and wind so strong I had to crouch-down, holding my tripod to prevent it blowing over. Eventually, as anticipated, the shower passed and the low winter sun appeared for a few minutes casting beautiful warm light across the scene. This part of Guernsey’s cliff-path network, near Le Prevote, meanders down into a deep valley and up again on the other side through a typically dramatic Guernsey coastal landscape. This photo is actually a stitch of several upright images, photographed in this way to capture as much fine detail as possible and allowing for very large prints – indeed, this image needs to be seen printed to fully appreciate its incredible detail and stunning tones.
