North Wales, in my opinion, has some of the most beautiful and varied coastline in the world, from vast sandy beaches to towering sea cliffs, we've got it all.
And one lovely stretch of coast is to be found on the banks of the Menai Straits, that narrow body of tidal Irish Sea that separates the Isle of Anglesey from the mainland.
On the Anglesey side of the Straits is where you'll find the seaside town of Beaumaris, famous for its castle, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
My wife Liz and I sometimes stop here during one of our travels around the Anglesey coastline to have a walk along the pier and promenade and a bite to eat.
And it was while we were munching on our lunchtime pizza that I decided to set up my camera on the sea wall to record this gentle seaside scene as a time lapse video, having noticed an interesting wave cloud that that formed over the waters.
So, twenty minutes of filming while we enjoyed our pizza resulted in this rather charming video, with not much happening but lovely all the same.
