Offering spectacular views of the other Channel Islands and the Cotentin Peninsula, Grosnez Castle is a ruined 14th-century castle at the north-west corner tip of Jersey.
Sir John des Roches ordered the castle built around 1330, about the time of the start of the Hundred Years' War. The castle's purpose was to provide local farmers with a place of refuge from French attacks. Philippe de Carteret held it against the French when they held half of Jersey between 1461 and 1467, but it has been a ruin since the mid-16th century. The castle was probably last used militarily during the time of the French occupation of eastern Jersey in 1461–1468, when this and the rest of the west of the island remained in loyalist hands.
In 1806, a naval signal station was established at Grosnez to send messages to Guernsey. The lights in the distance here are in Guernsey’s capital, St Peter Port, 30 km away.

This was the view behind me with the Brandon mountains looking resplendent in early morning light which is a rare sight as they are often shrouded in cloud or mist. I had to be careful where I was walking not to ruin the sand with footprints as compositions were endless and there were some wonderful patterns and details in the sand. Its a long time since I was able to make a decent black and white but I felt many of the shots I took here worked better in black and white.
Channeling the elegance and mystery of classic Hollywood, Nikki embodies the timeless allure of a silver screen icon. Bold red lips, dramatic eyeliner, and a confident gaze turn this portrait into a modern homage to the golden age of cinema.
Hand written letters are becoming a dying art. Many letter boxes are now disused, especially the rural ones, such a shame.

My sensitizer brushwork was pretty uneven on this one. Sometimes that adds to the charm, but I vow to be neater next time.

The English Channel, also called simply the Channel, is an arm of the Atlantic Ocean that separates Southern England from northern France and links to the southern part of the North Sea by the Strait of Dover at its northeastern end. It is the busiest shipping area in the world.
It is about 560 km (350 mi) long and varies in width from 240 km (150 mi) at its widest to 34 km (21 mi) in the Strait of Dover. It is the smallest of the shallow seas around the continental shelf of Europe, covering an area of some 75,000 km2 (29,000 sq mi).

Dungeness is a headland on the coast of Kent, England, formed largely of a shingle beach in the form of a cuspate foreland. It shelters a large area of low-lying land, Romney Marsh. Dungeness is also the name of the power station and a few other nearby buildings near the beach, and of an important ecological site at the same location.
Dungeness is one of the largest expanses of shingle in the world. It is of international conservation importance for its geomorphology, plant and invertebrate communities and birdlife. This is recognised and protected mostly through its conservation designations as a National Nature Reserve (NNR), a Special Protection Area (SPA), a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and part of the Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) of Dungeness, Romney Marsh and Rye Bay.
There is a remarkable variety of wildlife living at Dungeness, with over 600 different types of plant: a third of all those found in Britain. It is one of the best places in Britain to find insects such as moths, bees and beetles, and spiders; many of these are very rare, some found nowhere else in Britain.
The short-haired bumblebee, Bombus subterraneus, was last found in the UK in 1988, but has survived in New Zealand after being shipped there more than 100 years ago. It is to be reintroduced at Dungeness. It is planned that the first bees will be introduced in the spring of 2010.
The flooded gravel pits on Denge Beach, both brackish and fresh water, provide an important refuge for many migratory and coastal bird species. The RSPB has a bird sanctuary there and every year thousands of bird watchers descend on the peninsula to catch a glimpse of a rare bird from the bird observatory.
One of the most remarkable features of the site is an area known as 'the patch' or, by anglers, as 'the boil'. The waste hot water and sewage from the Dungeness nuclear power stations are pumped into the sea through two outfall pipes, enriching the biological productivity of the sea bed and attracting seabirds from miles around.
Beach fishing is popular at Dungeness, with the area being a nationally recognised cod fishing venue in the winter.
The name Dungeness derives from Old Norse nes: "headland", with the first part probably connected with the nearby Denge Marsh. Popular etymology ascribes a French origin to the toponym, giving an interpretation as "dangerous nose".
Winter months can be long, here, in Eastern Canada. I sometimes use the term 'North Pole' to describe the fact that we're almost 5 solid months a year in Winter... But Summer has a habit of coming back, every year. Everything is relative: I wouldn't want to live closer to the north pole like Sweden or Norway: I need to see the sun more than than two hours a day for six months!
