Calm day at Havre des Pas - pt II


Did you notice I'm a sucker for reflections?








.. they even make bland buildings look better.







Low-rise seafront...







.. so, obviously a 7 storey eyesore will have to go here on the corner ... *sigh*






Will they find a way to ruin this too?







The moment the dog fell in!







Man's best damp friend.

Calm day at Havre des Pas

It was pretty good for mid-late October, the pool was like a mirror so I set off with camera to see what I could come up with. Here's the view at La Collette, first...







.. and the new incinerator....







.. from the pool...







.. right here.






First, a moment's silence for the death of the charming seafront at Havre des Pas. This typically Jersey hotel is going to be replaced by a SEVEN storey modern art-deco rehash monster.





But who am I to argue, I'm not the one making money out of it. Instead let's look wistfully out to sea and count our blessings.







The entrance







Outside and in







It's like one of them there "infinity pool" thingies.
















Is nowhere sacred?







More next time....

Another Sunset Out West


Looking over to St.Ouen's Pond and L'Etacq on the way down the hill...







.. and out to sea.







By the sand pits lake.







Down onto the beach then...







Togetherness and Loneliness.






I found a pool for reflections...







.. which kept me busy!







How sweet...







.. more of the same.







.. etc.







Too dark to surf.







Damp sandridges.

Still waters

Friday the 28th, it was so calm I took a quick snap of the new blue crane on the New North, seeing as the reflections were so good.

This is a one or two second exposure, a little lighter than how it looked to the naked eye, with the pic heavily processed by 'messing around with the curves' (brightening it from the original).



This pic was a 20 seconds exposure, F2.8, ISO100.
Many light areas are 'burnt out' but it's really brought up the darker regions and shows just how calm the water was to produce such clear reflections over 20 secs!
