Bailiwick Channel Foreground Greve Lecq Looking Reef Rocks Pierres Uninhabitable
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the picturesque scene of Greve Le Lecq in the Channel Islands, circa 1900. The tranquil bay and sandy beach are framed by quaint houses nestled along the coastline. In the foreground, a cow grazes peacefully, adding to the idyllic atmosphere. The crystal-clear waters reveal the nearby uninhabitable rocks known as Les Pierres de Lecq, or the Paternosters. These rocks, located between Jersey and Sark, are a group of reefs or uninhabitable rocks, approximately 6 km north of Greve Le Lecq in Saint Mary, and 22.4 km west of the Cotentin Peninsula in Normandy. The Paternosters were an important landmark for sailors navigating the English Channel, and their rugged beauty continues to captivate visitors to this day. This photograph is part of the Boswell Collection, offering a glimpse into the past and the charm of the Channel Islands over a century ago.
