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.
It is quite breezy here as you would expect in such an exposed place.
But it's still beautiful - and deserted - tonight.
Dougal and Casper - you are looking the wrong way lads!
The boys enjoy a spot of beachcombing...
...and bathing...
...and of course running free.
A paradise isle, Mars or the West Cumbrian coast?
Race on!

The sun is setting into the clouds now.
Just before disappearing completely for the night.
