Never been to this place before and had to wait an awfully long time for any sunlight to come through the thick cloud cover to the west, but eventually it did start to show through. Then I had to rush back home for a party, so I missed the actual sunset. Well, can't have everything.

This is the result, 1 sec, f8 @ 13mm with a 0.9ND Hard Grad, after a bit of Simon Palmer's Panacea for All IllsSmile

Hope it pleases you and I'm open to all sorts of comments, as long as they're constructive, or raise a laugh Wink

Not been around peoples pix today, but will try and catch up tomorrow.

CHeers, Goggz

It was doubly frustrating 'cos the car park got locked at 8pm, so I was walking back and seeing lots of lovely shots that I couldn't stop to take ...

Thanks everyone! Your time and comments are very much appreciated Smile

Johanna, this does actually lean away from the prevailing winds and tides. I guess it's about 5-10 degrees from the vertical, but the shot was taken from the opposite side with a w/a lens, so the lean you see is lens induced. One day it will probably fall over.

Thanks very much everyone who's commented and voted - can't believe this Smile

Good shot Goggz.Was at this location a few weeks ago and couldnt believe how much the lighthouse leans to the side,and the fact its plonked right in the middle of the beach.

Thanks Dianah for your humble opinion it means a great deal to me Smile

I was hoping to put a copy on my wall, but me and the 1400 printer ain't on speaking terms at the moment... I think it's because I put some rubbishy paper in so it threw a hissy fit Sad

Had a peek before, then the B & W version but came back here again...! Prefer this version personally Pete, like the colour on the stones/blocks leading up to the lighthouse, but the whole thing is a "on the wall" shot for me. So I'll put me mark on this one..!

Kevin.
