The story behind this image

A beautiful, fresh early morning in Spring, and where else would you rather be than on the North Wales coast?

A receding tide on the gently contoured beach at Talacre left behind still pools surrounded by wet, rippled sand, perfect for reflecting the golden light of dawn and the eccentrically positioned Point of Ayr lighthouse.

This still image was just one of several hundred that I took from this position, to construct my time lapse video of the sunrise at Talacre, but the scene was so beautiful that I couldn't resist taking one of the frames and making this picture for extra enjoyment!
