"Striking Defence" Caergybi

Beautiful evening light on the incredible 1.5 mile long Holyhead breakwater. Completed in 1873 this sea defence is the longest in Europe. It looks so effective in this gently lapping sea but even this mammoth structure couldn’t stop the freak destructive power of Storm Emma devastating the inner harbour in 2018.
