Well what a disaster Saturday night was. Lake District was on after work then the weather forecast changed so Anglesey it was. Got to within a couple of miles of South Stack and it changed from glorious clear skies to huge amounts of sea mist so much so that you couldn't see the lighthouse when we got there...back up plan quickly formulated....St Cwyfan's church.....covered in sea mist........ok Llanddwyn Island again....Only the Milky Way is in the wrong place and the tide is coming in so this is the best one from a bad bunch.... Oh and wake up to find I missed the Aurora....Happy days!!!

Thought i'd try sunset from a different place, well different for me, not that I had much choice, it's getting like a cattle market up there.......

Shot today during my workshop whilst my client was setting up his camera. Overcast skies and drizzle turned to gorgeous sunshine and wonderful cloud...

Waiting for the Milky Way.....we watched the sun go down and by the time we got home it was on its way back up. We were joined by some porpoises just after sunset...which was nice!

The boy was off destroying various parts of Loggerheads with his school on Monday and Tuesday so Mrs M decided we were having a bit of a history tour. Fountains Abbey on Monday, more pics to bore you with over the coming week, then she fancied Llanddwyn on Tuesday for sunset, which didn't really materialise. So she took herself off whilst I set up and read all the various notice boards and reported back to my speck on the side of the cliff so I'm now quite well informed for any future visits! On a side note, stopped off for tea at The Bridge Inn by the Menai Bridge, best beef and ale pie ever!

Ynys Llanddwyn or Llanddwyn Island is a small tidal island off the west coast of Anglesey, North Wales. The island forms part of the National Nature Reserve of Newborough Warren which includes the extensive and floristically rich sand dune system. Llanddwyn Island is a tidal island; it remains attached to the mainland at all but the highest tides. It provides views of Snowdonia and the Llyn Peninsula. The Llanddwyn Island Lighthouse marks the western entrance to the Menai Strait. In 2004, Llanddwyn Island was used as a filming location in Demi Moore's romantic thriller Half Light. Tŵr Mawr was used as a lighthouse which plays a key role in the film. CGI was used to create the effect of a real light on top of the lighthouse. Wikipedia
