The beach at Talacre, on the North Wales coast, is a vast expanse of sand with ever changing contours as the tide washes in and out.
The gentle undulations in the sand fill with water at high tide, and then slowly drain as the tide recedes. This means that, if you time it right, there will be large stretches of calm water available to reflect whatever's going on in the sky above.
I struck gold on this particular evening, with tide, sunset and clouds all combining to produce a glorious visual spectacle.
This doesn't happen often, but when it does - WOW!
