The story behind this image

The sea is a wonderfully diverse element, with many different moods and conditions for us to enjoy or fear.

This makes photography at the coast a delight, as the same scene can appear completely different from one day to the next.

Such was the case on this morning at Penmon Point on the island of Anglesey. I'd already photographed the sunrise about an hour previously and was watching as the wind died completely and the sea became as calm and mirror like as I've ever seen it.

The was virtually no sound as I took this photo of the lighthouse and its reflection in the morning light. It was as if the world was holding its breath, waiting for something wonderful to happen.
