The story behind this video

All along the North Wales coast you can get a great view of the sunset out over the Irish Sea, during the summer months when the sun sets to the northwest.

But there's one location that's special, and that's the West Shore at Llandudno.

With its west facing aspect you can see a sunset here all year round.

In the winter, the sun sets to the southwest out over the headland of Penmaenmawr, while in the summer the sunset has swung around and is now over the limestone outcrop of the Great Orme.

This time lapse shows the sunset in late spring, nicely positioned next to the Orme with some lovely colourful clouds passing by.

A great half hour's worth of beauty, compressed into just a few seconds of viewing pleasure.
