The story behind this image

Late one afternoon, with the sun sinking slowly towards the western horizon, and I'm standing in one of the most lovely spots on the beautiful Isle of Anglesey, Penmon Point.

The tide had just turned as I clambered over the rocks to set up my good old Canon 5D to record the hundreds of stills needed to make my time lapse video Penmon Tide at Dusk.

This is one of those stills, selected from a point in the sequence that gave one of the best combinations of light and the position of the tide, partly concealing and partly revealing the foreground rocks.

What an evening and what a location!
