Trwyn Du Lighthouse, Penmon Point North Wales. It's been what seems an absolute age since I've been here and it wasn't part of the plan for today, I'd planned to do a third day at the utterly amazing abandoned quaryy at Dinorwic (photos to follow) however a wrng turn, and a total inabilty to pass anything steam train related (Welsh Highland Railway) saw me well off the route and looking for another option, so Anglesey it was.... A quick check on tide times told me wat I wanted to now with a low incoming tide here, good chance of some nice foreground.. A quick wander around and this composition just literally jumped out at me, S curved path directly to the lighthouse and some great deep seaweed encrusted rockpools left full by the last tide. While I was taking this a guy came wandering down and was just about to walk right in front of my set up.. I asked him to hang on for a minute, he said "'oh are you taking pictures too" I'm not sure how much more obvious I could have been as a photographer without maybe a huge red arrow over my head and a neon sign saying 'Hi I'm a photographer', neverthless he seemed to see that I was also taking pictures... once I was done he walked right down to the water line took his snap, and then made his way back.... I said to him, "do you not think it is a better image from here"? to which he replied "no, you are far too far away here", so that was me told, I packed up and retreated to the car. Brilliant. Conclusion from this trip: I need to visit North Wales so much more as it is absolutely beautiful, and an equal drive time to the Lakes or North Yorkshire. And maybe I should stand closer....
