Coney Island Parachute Jump at Dawn Shadows in the sand created by the rising sun Taken a few weeks after Hurricane Sandy.....2012
This image shows the St. Peter Port, Guernsey waterfront 27 minutes after high water on 10 March 2008. The high tide was already receding. High water was forecast for 9.8 metres at 0815 but because the barometric pressure had fallen to 973 mb Hg the tide rose to 10.7 metres according to the St. Peter Port harbour master, Captain Peter Gill. The wind was from the south-west and as St. Peter Port is on the east coast it was sheltered from the strong winds. The high tide closed the waterfront main road to vehicles for about one hour.

This image shows the St. Peter Port waterfront buildings reflected in the sea that rose to cover the coast road during the early morning high tide of 10 March 2008. High tide was forecast for 0815 at 9.8 metres. I photographed Havelet Bay during high tide and didn't arrive at the St. Peter Port waterfront until about half an hour after high water when the tide had already receded. The waterfront road was closed to traffic because cars driving through the sea had produced waves that entered some waterfront properties. The road remained closed for about one hour. Because of the low barometric pressure of about 973 mb Hg the high spring tide rose to a height of 10.7 metres according to St. Peter Port's harbour master, Captain Peter Gill.

This image was taken about 15 minutes after high water as a wave breaks against the granite wall protecting the coast road from Havelet Bay. Several waves did crash over the wall and seawater flowed to the opposite side of the road but the road remained open. High tide was forecast for 0815 at 9.8 metres but due to a low barometric pressure of 973 mb Hg the tide rose to a height of 10.7 metres according to Captain Peter Gill, St. Peter Port's harbour master. The wind was blowing from the south-west so the east coast was protected from the worst weather. Captain Peter Gill informed me that in 1948 the tide reached a height of 11.3 metres in St. Peter Port when the wind blew from the south-east. At that time the sea rose high enough to complete cover some of the St. Peter Port harbour quays. File No. 100308 3556 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
This image shows the flooded St Peter Port, Guernsey waterfront during the morning high spring tide of 10 March 2008. High water was meant to reach 9.8 metres at 0815 but because the barometric pressure was only 973 mb Hg according to the Guernsey weather website the tide actually reached a height of 10.7 metres according to St. Peter Port harbour master Captain Peter Gill. This image was taken 27 minutes after high water as the tide was already receding. High water completely flooded the coast road, which was closed to vehicles for about one hour although several bicycles did manage to cycle through. File No. 100308 3561 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
