Aberdaron beach

Aberdaron beach
A coastal walk to the west of Aberdaron in North Wales can bring you down to the side of Aberdaron's large beach. The village itself lies to the right here and that is where all the tourist are. Here are signs of perhaps an old pier, long since swallowed by age and the sea. The coastal path itself runs along the top edge of these hills.

This should be viewed large, on black for best effect.

This is my idea of a perfect beach...........sandy and deserted..!! I like your composition Herb, using the remains of the old pier as leading lines into the shot.

Thanks Keith, sorry for missing this earlier. You are right, best viewed big on black. Great that you enjoyed this composition. A pip now shows this scene on the bottom left.

Just my sort of beach as well! It must have been a joy pottering round there at low tide. I sadly never managed to visit Lleyn, I only got as far as Pwllheli.

Ah well my friend, a village and area still to explore for you then. Yes, we tooo like to potter around, just walking on the sands suits us fine but I do like a bit of rock or wood for interest too. I too have visited Pwilheli once but can hardly remember it now. Photos from there?

Cheers, Herb

You know then Toz that it can be a grand place but also a lonely deserted spot too as I know when last time we were here well out of season.

Hi Herb,

I like the two great big rocks balancing the foreground.
Obviously far enough away from the crowds..
I like it a lot!

Best Wishes
Peter

Hi Peter, I am not sure if they were rocks, concrete or wooden stumps encrusted with barnacles but they suited well. Yes far enough way from the crowds for sure.

Agree with Keith, definitely best large on black. It's so inviting I want to walk that pathway.
Super shot Herb!

Good that you too looked at this full screen. I usually make them big enough to fit my 24" screen, side to side its 1980p resolution. A great place to wander, whist the tide is low though.

A wonderful coastal image Herb, fortunately most people don't move far from the carpark.
I was talking to a ranger at Lyme Park and said something about people not staying more than 500 yards he said I was wrong they had done surveys it was 300 !!!! the estate is about 1,400 acres

Nice to see you again on here Peter. Your story here reminds me of the book 'A walk in the woods' by Bill Bryson, with many thousands of acres of woodland and the Appalachian Trail but most people never even venturing as far as your 300yards. Americans are worst than us? That normally suits us but I can see the bad part of that, in as much that if folk don't walk, they don't need to put in footpaths, trails or rights-of-ways, so in the end, we cannot walk anywhere as it is all fenced off by landowners. Our numerous paths and trails in Britain were forced on by longer-distant and persistent walkers/adventurers. As you well know my friend.
Keep well, Herb
