Walney Island Sunset

Walked on 09/10/2010

Walney Island lies to the west of Barrow in Furness and has a superb aspect to the Irish Sea and the sunsets from here can often be pretty spectacular. I took Casper and Dougal over to Biggar Bank for a walk along the shore and I’m glad I had my camera with me tonight. Perhaps the photos are a bit samey but they are a little different than usual and I certainly enjoyed the sunset tonight.

It is 6pm, half an hour before the official sunset and the sky to the west is already glowing.

006

It is quite breezy here as you would expect in such an exposed place.

008

But it's still beautiful - and deserted - tonight.

015

Dougal and Casper - you are looking the wrong way lads!

The boys enjoy a spot of beachcombing...

...and bathing...

...and of course running free.

036

A paradise isle, Mars or the West Cumbrian coast?

046

Race on!

Dougal caught in mid flight.

Fireball XL5.

The sun is setting into the clouds now.

Just before disappearing completely for the night.
