Thanks to ever active weather, the North Wales coast is a great place to witness and photograph a lovely sunset from.
Ususally there's a bank of cloud on the horizon that cuts the event short, but on this beautiful evening, sitting on the sea wall at Caernarfon, Liz and I got to see the sun set all the way down to the horizon on the far side of the Menai Straits.
Even more fortuitously, bands of cloud above the horizon picked up the warm red/orange light from the setting sun and gave us a lovely display that only lasted a few minutes, but was long enough to allow the capture of this image.
