The story behind this image

This is another shot of South Stack lighthouse (I've got plenty more!), this time taken in summer. You can tell that the sun is setting at a completely different angle to the previous shot, taken later in the year.

On the cliffs above the lighthouse there's an old abandoned lookout tower with this strange decaying iron thing (I've got no idea what it is!) in front of it.

Anyhow, I decided to include it in this composition as an interesting foreground, gently lit by the last rays of the setting sun.
