The story behind this image

A trip to the seaside resort of Llandudno, on the North Wales coast, is always a treat. It's like taking a step back in time to a bygone era of stripy bathing costumes and 'Kiss-me-Quick' hats, as the town has retained much of its Victorian charm.

No visit is complete without a stroll along the famous pier, all the way to the end where you'll find this flamboyant pavillion, glinting in the sun and causing havoc with your camera's metering system.

There's an indefineable charm to the place that is very difficult to realise in a static 2D image. I've tried my best, but I would still say you have to be here to fully appreciate what I'm talking about.

Give it a try!
