Flowery steps

Coastpath on Guernsey's SE coast. In May the coast is covered in flowers, here red campion (Silene dioica) and stinking onion (Allium triquetrum), which looks a bit like white bluebells but smells quite differently;-) Auf dem Küstenpfad im Südosten von Guernsey, der im Mai voller Blumen ist, hier Rote Lichtnelke und Glöckchen-Lauch.

Pied du Mur/ Marble Bay

Stitched from quite a number of shots (cannot remember how many). View large size: www.ipernity.com/doc/523247/46568656/sizes/o Marble Bay or Pied du Mur is a bay on Jerbourg peninsula in the south of Guernsey, with views across to the Islands of Herm, Jethou and Sark. It lies in fault zone stretching across the peninsula to Petit Port Bay. The bedrock is Icart gneiss with bands of quartz and a dolerite dyke running through it. Wave erosion has created caves with sea anemones which can be accessed at low tide. Various types of seaweed have covered and coloured the rocks. The red blobs are sea anemones

Long Cavaleur

This less visited stretch of Guernsey's southwest coast has no sandy coves but lots of interesting cliffs. Long Cavaleur (see inset photo) with its rock arch is slowly being eroded away. Both Long Cavaleur and Les Tielles in the background consist of reddish Icart gneiss, one of the oldest rocks in Britain, and are crossed by grey dolerite dykes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geology_of_Guernsey
