The story behind this image

Back to one of my favourite spots on the North Wales coast - Penmon Point, right on the southeast tip of the island of Anglesey.

This is a place of real peace and quiet, especially at dawn on a freezing cold morning in the middle of winter!

What makes this image special for me is the beautifully curvy white concrete path, which winds its way in a serpentine fashion past rockpools and through banks of seaweed until it arrives at the lighthouse. You couldn't wish for a better compositional element.

I only wish my photographs of this place could convey the smells, sounds and feelings I experience when I'm there. I hope they do just a little!
