A beautiful evening in late spring 2021 found my wife Liz and I at one of our favourite seaside haunts, Church Bay (Porth Swtan) on the west coast of the Isle of Anglesey, just off the North Wales coast.
This is a great spot to watch a sunset from any time of the year, and we spent a happy hour high on the headland overlooking the beach at high tide as the sun dipped into clouds on the western horizon.
Of course, I wasn't content with just watching the sunset, so I had my camera set up overlooking the bay and shoreline rocks, recording the hundreds of still images needed to create my Church Bay Sunset Timelapse #4 video.
Once I'd finished the time lapse shoot after the sun had set, and while there was still twilight colour in the sky, I finished off by capturing this tranquil scene on a short video as the world took a deep sigh before the blanket of night was drawn once againd over the landscape.
