We would have felt guilty resting up for 2 days in a row, especially as it wasn’t raining. So we decided to venture out to Llanddwyn Beach to look at the lighthouse on the island. The island is cut off by the tide so timing has to be considered which I why we haven’t visited this site in the evening for sunset. But today is our last day on Anglesey, so we decided to make the trip in the day time. Unfortunately it involved a 1.5 mile walk along the beach to get to the lighthouse.
It certainly gave me a workout by carrying Holly in the sling, but today I decided to leave the main camera bag behind; instead I took my small Sony compact camera and my Olympus Infrared camera in small waist bags. I was glad to be travelling light especially as the island is a mile in the distance in the first image. 3 miles along the sand wasn’t a fun trek.
Vanessa spotted a seagull diving, flying off and later dropping small crabs. She managed to get a photo with her smaller lens (also travelling light).
Everyone told us the island was really beautiful – but we thought is was just OK, but would have been much better in low evening light.
I did wonder if it would look better in Infrared …
Tomorrow we move onto the outskirts of Snowdonia so hopefully we’ll see a few mountains in the following posts.
