Down to the Horizon

So I know that all of the above pictures are very similar but I wanted to show the sequence of the sun going down over the Irish Sea. I was sat on a rock on the beach at Gyrn Goch just watching as the golden orb of the sun slowly set and disappeared from view.

I love the colour in the sky and the patterns of the clouds.

If you look really closely you will just make out the very last glimpse of the sun in the final picture in the series. It is just below the "C" of Chipster63.

These are the last of my pictures from that evening on the beach, tomorrow and over the coming few days I will be posting pictures from the next morning in Caernafon and Anglesey so come back for those...

Sundown at the beach

The late afternoon sun on the beach was perfect for these atmospheric shots looking towards the North Wales coast in the far distance.  I love living so close to the sea and I am happy to share these lovely images to show what a beautiful place I live in.

Wonderful Wirral.

Silver Linings

Today's selection are the last images from my overnight trip to Millom in Cumbria. 

Walking around the old harbour I came across a bench looking out across the water and so I sat to enjoy the sunset. It was a lovely spot, I could easily imagine a couple sitting together in what was really quite a romantic location.  

As the light was fading the clouds look quite dark but as you can see from some of these images every cloud does have a silver lining.

A Lovely Evening in Millom

Today I have spent the day in Snowdonia but the pictures I have chosen for my blog are from last weekends trip to Millom in Cumbria.  

We have some really fantastic countryside in the UK and I had one of the best nights ever last Friday camping at a new site on the North West coast between Millom and Haverigg. There were no other campers on the site so it was really perfect.  Over the next few days I will share some pictures from the trip, including my first attempt at shooting the night sky.

For today I have chosen some pictures of the sunset.  The first is looking across the fields to Millom with the Cumbrian Fells in the distance, you can see Scafell Pike and Coniston (if you know what you're looking for).

The second image I took along one of the lanes near to the campsite, I love the evening light as it breaks through the trees.  

The final picture was the view from my tent as the sun was setting, I don't think anyone can argue, that was a great view to end the day.  After that I got some fish n chips with a helping of battered haggis for my supper before settling down to watch the stars. Mmmmm what a brilliant night.
