The story behind this image

The setting sun paints the cliffs at South Stack on the island of Anglesey with golden light as the Irish Sea carries on its endless battle with the land far below.

Perched incongruously right at the cliff edge is the Ellins Tower RSPB bird watching sanctuary, a white speck set against the magnificence of the geological grandeur, but a beautiful addition to the landscape nontheless.

This is a wonderful place, and if you're able to visit then sunset is the best time.
