Clevedon Pier Sunset

Clevedon on the North coast of Somerset has a little Victorian era gem.  The pier often faces the setting sun and, get your timing right, can be back-lit by the most wonderful coloured skies. :-)

Sometimes photography is essentially luck.  And this photograph is just that :-)  I had set-out from home earlier in the day with the specific intention of exploring the coast just South of Bristol.  I was aware of a pier having seen 'pier' on a map but had no intention of going to Clevedon let alone photographing the pier at sunset.  But at the end of the day I found myself on the beach then the promenade just as the sun was setting.  The photograph says the rest!

The sky is wonderful, but I really like the orange ball of the sun and the way it can be seen through the windows of the pier. :-)
