Path to the Lighthouse

I haven’t posted any landscape photography in ages so it was good to get out and do some. I was over in Wales on Monday doing a bit of training for our up and coming trip over the Pyrenees (http://www.iwouldwalk500miles.co.uk/) and got these two shots on Llanddwyn Island of what looks to be a converted lighthouse. The island itself has loads of great photographic subjects, I could have spent a lot longer taking photos (and I was there for 4 hours) but I decided to concentrate on the lighthouse and the path leading up to it. It was a nice clear sunset, not a great deal going on in the sky as there were no clouds and my ideas of the volcanic ash making for brilliant sunsets has yet to materialise so I concentrated on the land.

The mountains you can just start to see behind are in Snowdonia. We did go to climb one of them the following day but after a pretty cold night in the tent followed by what can only be described as an unprovoked attack on my wallet by the generous souls at a certain breakdown company, we decided to come back. It was a very enjoyable few days and if you are over that way I would recommend popping down to Llanddwyn Island for a look round and maybe the odd photo.
