Another lovely summer's evening on the north Wales coast.
And after a day spent exploring the beauties of the Snowdonia (now called Eryri) National Park, where else would you want to be to watch the sunset but on the West Shore beach at Llandudno?
So as Liz and I relaxed in the warm, onshore breeze, my two trusty Canon cameras went to work, one shooting the hundreds of stills needed to create a time lapse video of the beautiful play of light across the sky and water, and the other shooting a zoomed in video of the sun setting over one of the many breakwater markers that adorn this stretch of seashore.
In the end, the sun never made it all the way to the horizon, settling instead into a blanket of cloud out far to the northwest.
But never mind, as the light still had a few treats to bring us as the low cloud lit up with the warm glow of filtered sunlight from just below the horizon beofre the colour finally bled from the sky.
A fitting end to a wonderful day out, admiring God's handiwork in action.
