Penmon Point has become less and less appealing to me for photography, but occasionally I still shoot the occasional image there if narrative presents itself. On this cold winter's evening, waves were cascading down and across the limestone reef. As the tide rose, the dark rocks became brighter and whiter owing to the sheer mass of waves and water. Just before the scene became darker and monochromatic, the last remnants of sunlight caught the tops of the clouds, warming them temporarily and splashing them in salmon and pink washes for the briefest of moments, echoing another colourful warning, in red, on the sign fixed to the reef. Night, and a more intense cold forced a retreat to the warmth of the car.
The present Penmon lighthouse at 29m tall was erected between 1835 and 1838. It was converted to solar power in 1996 and it's 15,000 candela light can be seen 12 nautical miles away. It also has a fog bell which sounds every thirty seconds."

ABOUT THE PRINTS:
Glyn's prints are all produced on soft-textured, archival cotton-rag paper, using archival pigment inks. The manufacturer's estimated lifespan for these prints is over 200 years when behind glass & viewed under artificial lighting.
Each print is signed & titled by the artist, and the editioned prints are obviously numbered as well. Glyn limit's his print editions to short quantities, so you are purchasing much rarer artworks than the mass-produced prints seen in furniture & home stores.
Editions range from 3 to 30 copies in the A2 & A1 size, and just 5 copies in the A0 size.
