Faro de Tostón during Blue Hour

We visited the lighthouse at Faro de Tostón just before sunset. Lots of low cloud threatened to hide the sunset but fortunately a gap was left just above the horizon so we got a lovely glow and even after-sunset luminescence that provided some interesting silhouettes in the sky.

This shot came about just before I got in the car and left. It was pitch dark. I could barely see anything, but I’m happy with the way this came out. A couple of days ago I saw drone shots of the rocks behind it where a small yacht had run aground.

I suspect the light in the background is actually the glow from Playa Blanca in Lanzarote, or it might be Urb. Origo Mare, but apparently that resort shut its doors permanently last year. Interesting comments here too. It’s had a chequered past.

Living my best life! It’s 21 degrees C. Serendipitously got to see this amazing samba band practicing under the stars with a warm sea breeze.

Unfortunately my phone was low on battery, but will defo go again next week.
