Talacre Lighthouse and Full Moon #1

Point of Ayr lighthouse and full moon, Talacre, North Wales coast

The story behind this image

The Point of Ayr lighthouse, in its improbable location on the beach at Talacre on the North Wales coast, is a magnet for outdoor photographers from far and wide.

I'm blessed by living only a half hour's drive from this amazing location, so I can pick and choose when I visit.

The promise of a clear sky on the night of a full moon was all the encouragement I needed to make this trip, catching the moon rising just half an hour after sunset.

A bit of careful positioning and the use of a long lens allowed me to make the most of the event.
