sealord > I photographed the rising tide flowing into a shallow rock pool that is surrounded by a raised lip of granite. The maximum tidal range around Guernsey is just over 10 metres (about 33 feet.) Guernsey has two high tides and two low tides every 24 hours (six hours between high water and low water). The rate of the rise and fall of the tide changes with time. In the first hour after low water the sea rises 1/12th of its range. In the second hour it rises 2/12ths of its range, and in the third and fourth hour it rises 3/12ths of its range during each hour and then the rate declines again to 2/12ths and 1/12th per hour. The rate of tidal rise and fall is greatest about half way between the time of low water and the time of high water. This image was taken about 2 hours after low water as the tide is rising up the coast. Photographed on 4 January 2007.

sealord > This is a view from the southern end of Belle Greve Bay looking across the Little Russel (the passage between Guernsey and the islands of Herm and Jethou) towards the island of Sark on the horizon and the taller island of Jethou on the left. The rocks in the foreground are draped with the brown seaweed, thongweed, Himanthalia elongata, and there are clumps of the red seaweed, Mastocarpus stellatus.
