The story behind this video

The end of a lovely day on the North Wales coast, and my wife Liz and I are squeezing the maximum enjoyment from the evening with a stroll along the seafront promenade at Rhyl.

Above the western horizon of the Irish sea the sun had just set over the turbines of the Gwynt-y-Môr offshore wind farm and the sky was ablaze with colour as dusk fell.

The glowing heavens were so lovely that I couldn't resist getting out my camera and setting it off to record hundreds of mstill images of the slowly changing scene to create this time lapse video.

In the end we stayed filming for just under two hours as the last of the light fled from the sky and the evening stars appeared in all their splendour over the lights of the wind farm.

What an amazing way to end another beautiful day on the North Wales coast.
