having lived in Kent for 6 yrs, and done the channel crossing probably around a 50x in all weather and seasons, i have never seen the channel water look as invitingly tropical light blue as it did from some of the initial water shots you posted (looking down on the water from the high cliffs)

the times i have flown over it in an aircraft it also would look more dark and grey, the same as the closer to the water visuals you get from the ferries or coastal roads, but in the aircraft this would obviously have been for significantly higher altitude then the cliff height shots you just posted now.

i'd hate to have Oleg create a tropical channel water color after all his hard work, instead of the cold and somewhat menacing grey colour it has during most times of the year that i remember.

I used a Pentax Optio S30. But I've since upgraded! The weather was almost perfect. A very sunny day in July last year. The pics do accurately represent the sea at that time. Yes, almost Med-like I agree.

The following two pics are of The English Channel in November this year. Taken at Southsea near Portsmouth.
