The beach at Talacre, on the North Wales coast, is justly famous for its very strange abandoned lighthouse which draws photographers (myself included) like a magnet.
To be honest, there's not much else around to provide a focal point for any composition at Talacre, but on this particular evening there were a couple of beach anglers trying their luck right at the water's edge, sillhoutted by a glorious sunset, so I took full advantage!
You know, I've watched beach anglers and photographed them for many years now, but I've never seen a fish caught - I wonder if this hobby is not just some excuse to get out of the house and onto the beach for a few hours.
A bit like photography maybe!
