Penmon Point - Trwyn Du Lightouse - Anglesey
A calm looking long exposure of Trwyn Du Lighthouse at Penmon Point. The image is quite deceptive as the weather that morning was very aggressive with high winds and crashing waves.
The first lighthouse was errected in 1838 shortly after a ship ran aground causing 130 people to loose their lives. The ship that sank was called the Rothsay Castle
and sank in 1831.
The present lighthouse is 29 metres tall & was designed by James Walker & built in 1835-1838.
The lamp was converted to solarpower in 1996.At present the Lighthouse has a 15,000 candela light that can be seen 12 nautical miles away & a 178 kilogram fog bell that sounds once every 30 seconds.
Thank you for taking the time to view my work and as always I appreciate all your feedback and any faves you are kind enough to leave. Have a great week :)
