Grassholm Island on the skyline, with a flat sea in the foreground and blue sky above. The island is a shallow dome shape, with the right-hand side whitened by a huge gannet colony.A flamboyant purple flower of Greater Knapweed, with a crown of petals like branched tentacles.A view of Castle Beach from the footbridge at the top of the beach. Foreground trees encroach at both sides, framing the beach, which is composed of red pebbles and covered in parts with bright green algae. Across the water, the Valero refinery chimneys stand over West Angle beach.Carn Llidi mountain stands over a shallow valley. The mountain (ok, hill) appears symmetrical with promontories like shoulders on both sides.
