A photograph from the top of the observation tower on Hilbre Island looking out to sea over the remains of the old Lifeboat Station that was in operation until the late 1930s.
A cold winters sky is refelcted in the waters surrounding Little Eye, the smallest of the three Hilbre Islands off the coast of West Kirby on the Wirral.
After an evening of frustrating skies and nothing really happening, the sun dropped below the horizon and suddenly turned the sky to a fiery red and pink glow behind Hilbre Island, the colour was incredible.
I love the bright green seaweed that sits on these rocks just off Middle Eye, they create a lovely leading line toward Hilbre Island.
