The tides are high



A Condor 'Wavepiercer' passes through a sunset scene...







.. and arrives in St. Helier... a tricky shot that was never going to look great but never mind :)






.. I think this one has more going for it...







.. with a dramatic sky behind the castle.







Another tricky light shot, included just in case it does anything for you.






One of those rare occasions where I've done absolutely nothing to the shot except to resize down to 800 x 600...








.. and another...







.. and one I did 'crop' as required. This was about a 39ft tide...





.. which, if you'll excuse the bodged shot taken in a rush, at least shows the new lifeboat on almost the same level as the pier (you'd normally have to peep down over the edge to see it!)







.. and the ferries look nice and high for a change compared to the Elizabeth Terminal area...






.. closer, excuse the 'noisy' (grainy) pic.

Those sky shots are just superb, realy dramatic and full of feeling. I love them! Wonder if we will see tides that high when we arrive next week so we don't get neck ache leaning over to look at the vessels in the harbour! A.
