Leaning, towards a lie in. - a photo on Flickriver

Explore #3 - 17/06/17

0430, at the leaning lighthouse at Talacre, on my way to North Wales for a few days and I thought I may as well try and bag a sunrise on the way, initially I was thinking of Llyn Padarn but that would have meant bascially not going to bed at all, instead I chose this spot as it was closer.

Still at 0200, when the alarm went off the lighthouse wasn't the only thing leaning, and with snooze hit several times I was leaning towards a longer stay in bed... somehow I manged to get up and drive here, I only got here 10 mins before the colourful sky kicked off and had to leg it over the dunes and find a composition then set up, thankfully I was ready as it only lasted for around 5 minutes, there was no sunrise as such just this great glow which within minutes was fully snuffed out by cloud cover, I manged 2 or 3 shots here which I'm pleased with so it had been well worth getting up, including shooting Llandudno pier in perfect tidal conditions a little later at 6am.

As much as I love the Summer shooting sunrise in June isn't something I'll be rushing to do again unless it's out the front door of where I am staying! by late afternoon I was fit for nothing and needed a sleep, no chance of sunset today with it happening at quarter to ten..., roll on Winter sunrise times!
