Taken in the fading twilight of a summer's evening while standing on the cliffs at Llanbadrig on the island of Anglesey, North Wales, this photo captures something of the peace and beauty of this remarkable coast.
Around us all is stillness as the world holds its breath while day fades into night, and the sussurant hiss of the gentle waves kissing the rocks far below is the only sound as a lonely lobster boat cuts slowly though the scene as it wends its tired way back to harbour and well earned rest.
A few minutes later and darkness falls as we pack up our things and start the long drive back home, the memories of the evening already fading from our minds but preserved, somehow, in this frozen moment of time displayed as pixels on a screen.
What a remarkable thing.
