The Pembrokeshire National Park, Wales, is mostly all about the coastline.
With dramatic cliffs, pristine beaches and turbulent seas, set against a backdrop of somewhat variable weather conditions, there's always something to see.
So understandably enough, Liz and I spent a lot our our time during our mini-break here enjoying the stark beauty of the many coves and small inlets adorning the coast.
My favourite time to visit a beach is on a falling tide as the receding waters leave unblemished sand, free of footprints and with a sheen of surface water that will reflect clouds and patches of light in the sky above.
Such was the scene when we visited this beach at Nolton Haven, a tiny little cove on the coast of Pembrokeshire in St Brides Bay.
The very flat sand was still covered in a thin layer of water from the falling tide, and with dramatic skies above I was able to photograph this lovely study in light and shade.
