There’s never two identical sunsets, no matter how many times you watch the sun go down. On this occasion there was a huge rain cloud and some haze which all diffracted the light from the sun in various ways, creating these beautiful rays of varied colours.
On a hot, hazy day in summer you’d be forgiven for thinking that the world just disappears out at sea, as the haze slowly reduces visibility and creates a surreal landscape.

Every day at dusk the lighthouse begins it’s show, warning sailors of the dangers they face should they come too close. Beautiful in sunset, there lurks beneath the beauty a savage land and unforgiving sea only too keen to reap careless souls.
