Lighthouse, beach and sunset #1

Photo of lighthouse and beach at sunset, Talacre, North Wales

The story behind this image

Talacre beach, on the North Wales coast, is aligned pretty much east to west which is great for seeing sunsets and sunrises, especially from late Spring to early Autumn when you can see both in one day from the same spot!

But the unique feature to be found here is the abandoned lighthouse, sitting on a concrete plug buried in the sand itself.

This is a non-too stable arrangement, and no, the camera isn't tilted, it's the lighthouse itself that's leaning over.

This is one quirky place, and great for photography or just sightseeing.
