Pools of blue reflect the calm clear skies over Crosby beach last night as the setting sun painted the horizon with streaks of warm gold.

A beautiful calm stillness descended on Crosby beach at sunset last night. The Welsh mountains clearly defined against the pale blueness of the sky and out over the sea the warm orange glow from the last of the day’s light. #IronMenCrosby #SeftonCoast

My favourite picture from last night. The earth rotates eastward into night bringing the sun towards the horizon on the day of the autumn equinox marking the end of summer 2025.

Watching the sun go down. The iron men on Crosby beach witness yet another stunning sunset as the the alignment of the sun and the earth brings to a close the autumn equinox, tipping us into the days of longer nights. #IronMenCrosby #SeftonCoast #autumnequinox

The joy of Crosby beach on a windy day. Swift moving clouds across open skies, the sound of waves breaking on the shore, the spray and scent of the sea but most of all the fast changing light and its interplay with the sea and the weather. #IronMenCrosby #SeftonCoast

Today the sea was all foam and glitter as a strong wind pushed an afternoon high tide high up Crosby beach. Racing clouds scattered distant showers across the Wirral Peninsula whilst the iron men on Crosby beach stood in bursts of sunlight. #IronMenCrosby #SeftonCoast

Watching the squalls roll by. An iron man looks on as a quickly moving band of showers passes across the Dee Estuary and the Wirral peninsula. Out to sea there is blue sky and sunshine. A mixed afternoon today at Crosby beach. #SeftonCoast

Gentle muted skies at sunset tonight on Crosby beach. A band of high cloud dimmed the setting sun but it still managed to paint the higher clouds with shades of peach and apricot. A beautiful calm end of summer evening.

Last night the incoming sea was like molten lead, its surface stirred by the breeze, ripples of light and a moving mirror of all the colours in the sky, long after the sun had set. #CrosbyBeach #SeftonCoast

Tonight at Crosby beach, sunset at 19.58. The tide incoming, lapping around the feet of iron men.
Glowing disc of the sun sinks the sea. The clear sky is suffused with soft shades of peach and apricot once the sun has vanished below the horizon. #SeftonCoast
