Just a few minutes of real time compressed into a few seconds in this time lapse video featuring clouds just catching the last light from the setting sun as they stream over the headlands of Penmaenmawr and Llanfairfechan.
In the winter months, with the sun setting to the southwest, there's very few places on the North Wales coast where you can actually catch the sunset, with the promenade on Llandudno's West Shore being one of the finest.
So fortified with a take-away coffee I braved the chill wind to capture the few hundred still images needed to create this time lapse video, with the camera and tripod set as low it they would go to avoid being blown over!
