Jersey – Art, Architecture, History and Photography.

Art and architecture fascinate me. I like to get a feel of the history of a place too. Having a few weeks on Jersey gave us time to explore. The towns were full of art. History was all around.

I love the magic of the light – it is mystical – rejuvenating. It fills you with warmth.

I just love this family of otters swimming around and investigating their surrounds.

The Channel Islands were the only part of Britain taken by the Germans in the war. The island was covered with fortifications, tunnels and gun defences built by the Germans to stop Britain invading.

Jersey must have been the most fortified island in history. It’s littered with castles and defences.

Photography – Jersey – The Glass Church

It was a bit disappointing for me. I was expecting the whole church to be made of glass. All I got was a glass altar and other bits and bobs.

I just loved the patterns and colours – a patchwork of beauty. I added a few other flowers and the odd caterpillar. To get the full effect of the patchwork of colour you have to blow the photos up to a bigger size.

I loved them. Couldn’t take my eyes off the expanse of colour. We both said that we would never normally put those colours together but in nature it works.
