Mudflats Sunset

Cold, bright and sunny today. Finished work early so I had time to take
Fudge for a walk when I got home.
Here the sun is sinking over the mudflats of Dundalk Bay which are home to thousands of birds, many of which come here to overwinter.
The wind turbine at Dundalk Institute of Technolgy, which was the first campus in the world to have its own wind turbine, can be seen on the horizon.

Nikon D7000
1/320s f/11.0 at 105.0mm iso400 full exif

What a way to end the day, I especially like the way the mast points to the sunset, it just completes the composition :)

I hope your witness of this beautiful warm, golden light made the cold seem more comfortable. Beautiful shot. V

Lovely orange light! Hopefully the migrating birds don't fly into the wind turbine. The turbines kill thousands of birds every year. V

A lovely end to the day beautifully captured - great composition, but I hope Prince Philip doesn't get wind of that turbine!

What a peaceful scene, there's something so relaxing about boats resting on the sand, there slight lean always makes me want to sleep
