The story behind this video

A warm, sunny afternoon and where else would you rather be than on the North Wales coast.

One of the most charming spots along the coast is the quaint seaside town of Llanfairfechan - a place time forgot, thank goodness!

My wife Liz and I often stop here for a walk along the seashore, taking in the vast expanses of tidal sand, the decaying groynes and the very impressive headland to the east.

This afternoon we decided to call here for a coffee and to eat our picnic, before heading further west.

But it was so nice that we ended up staying for a couple of hours, enjoying the sun and watching as the tide swept in across the sand and light clouds scudded by overhead.

But of course, I couldn't just sit and watch such a lovely scene, so out came the camera gear and I spent the next half hour shooting the stills for this gentle time lapse video.
