Rock and Sea #5

Barnacle encrusted rock with the Conway estuary and Penmaenmawr in the background

The story behind this image

The late afternoon sun splashes its golden light across the seashore at Llandudno on the North Wales coast.

My wife Liz and I are strolling along the beach, taking in the quiet beauty of our surroundings on this most tranquil of evenings as the sea gently kisses the land with a sussurant sigh.

I just can't resist trying to capture some of this mood in an image, and the juxtapostion of a barnacle encrusted rock, a blurred sea and the subtle lighting on the headland of Penmaenmawr do the job quite nicely.

Still, you really need to be here to get a full appreciation of just how good for the soul a walk along the sand here can be.
