The story behind this image

Just after 10pm on a lovely June evening.

The sun had set a few minutes ago over the Colwyn Bay windfarm, just off the North Wales coast, and the residual twilight painted the few visible clouds with stripes of firey orange.

Sitting on the sea wall at Rhyl harbour, having just finished shooting a time lapse of the sun setting over the turbines, I was entranced by the light show unfolding in front of me.

So, of course, I had to unpack my camera gear again for just a few more frames!
