The Peaceful Pilot Cottages under the Plough
Ynys Llanddwyn on Anglesey is such a special location, day or night. This image was taken after shooting the Milky Way in 2024 when killing time until the tide was low enough to cross back over to the main beach. It was a beautiful night, and at this location there are so many options for compositions, a place I want to explore more in the dark in 2025.
These small cottages were built to house the pilots who helped boats navigate the ports along the Menai Strait, and they also crewed the Llanddwyn lifeboat until it was withdrawn from service in 1903. The plough was above the pilot cottage and this was a 10 image stack to reduce noise.
