The lighthouse at Penmon Point long exposure


A long exposure of The lighthouse at Penmon Point which was built after the tragic disaster of the steam ship Rothesay Castle in 1831. When a day trip from Liverpool turned to tragedy with the loss of passengers and crew, it was decided that a lighthouse and accompanying Lifeboat Station was needed. Today, the lighthouse watches over the treacherous waters between Penmon Point and Puffin Island which, as its names suggests, was once home to a large population of puffins.
