Christmas day on the beach

I took this shot on the beach right outside Aberthaw power station. The weather was perfect with no wind and a pleasent 5 degrees and sunny. The tide was out but coming in, so I had to be a bit sharp with the shot. I was hoping for a nice sunset, but low cloud put a stop to a decent picture. The shot shows the main intake of cooling water to the power station.

This shot is of the outfalls from the power station. Again, the tide was coming in fast so some caution is needed if you go there. I was trying a long exposure to give an almost alien effect.
