Ainsdale Beach - Sunset

Going to pick my son up from the railway station and I noticed a wonderful sunset. Raced down to the beach and captured this. Could have been more dramatic if I could have got there 10 - 15mins sooner... Ah well


Sunset - Ainsdale by Stars999, on Flickr

It's really nice Rog - I'd pay the tractor driver who made those track marks to drive in a wiggly line into the sea ... lol.... helluva lead in line.

Thanks

The lines where done by boy racers. Some times you see them sunk up to their axles in the sand.. Funny really, explain that to mum and Dad.

Love the drama of the first sky, I think the sky should be the main focus of this image. what would a crop look like?

Had a look, but it seems like I've stretched the pic which doesn't look right.
