#IronMenCrosby Advent Calendar Day 1
A brilliant afternoon to enrich the senses down at Crosby beach. The roar of the sea, the call of gulls and the ever changing light as the sun played hide and seek in the fast moving clouds, rays of golden light spreading out across the water.

Out to the west of Crosby beach, over Wales, the sky is ever changing with rays of crepuscular light painting streaks of gold across the gathering clouds. Towards sunset the clouds build, shimmering at their edges but blocking the last of the light. #IronMenCrosby

Pools of golden late afternoon sunlight race along Crosby beach. Flocks of knot take flight, twisting and turning, skimming low over the outgoing sea. The sky is full of drama, rays of crepuscular light beaming down through gaps in the gathering clouds. #IronMenCrosby

Early river walk. Water levels have dropped again and the path is clear in places. Where it dips slightly the river water still floods. Light from the rising sun glows orange, looking like fire on the cloud covered hillside. River Suir, South Tipperary.

A quiet mostly overcast afternoon at Crosby beach. The occasional glimmer of sunlight sends rays of light through the clouds and adds a sparkle to the out going tide.
