Living near the North Wales coast, scenes like this are just 45 minutes away by car for me, so I can make the most of a weather forecast that says 'sunshine and showers'.
This is Llandudno's East Shore, on a particularly active weather day.
I took quite a few photos of this exact scene, giving me plenty of choice when it came to selecting the best breaking wave composition.
This was my favorite shot, with the clouds and wave arranged in the most complimentary postions.
I then post-processing the image to bring out the drama in the sky and sea.
No doubt I'll be back again when the forecast is propitious.
