Great moody colours over Holyhead Breakwater today. The longest breakwater in the UK, at 1.7miles long.

It was also the setting for the lifeboat crew's portrait made by @jacklowe in April 2019, as part of the epic @lsp

@jacklowe Doesn't it just?

It's just dawned on me though that the breakwater was Victorian engineering, a peer of wet plate collodion. So a pretty spot on choice for the portrait location in more ways than one!
