THREAD: All 25 wonderful photos of @IronMenCrosby from Four Seasons In Another Place by @RonDaviesPhoto #Sefton #Liverpool #Merseyside #Photography #NaturePhotography #HappyNewYear2021 
1 - ‘A bleak, but somehow beautiful, raw winter evening down at Crosby beach with only the Iron Men to share the appreciation of nature with this wonderful glowing sky at the end of a stormy day' - @RonDaviesPhoto
2 - ‘The first flush of morning sunlight caresses the snow covered hills of Wales, promising a better day for the Iron Men on Crosby beach, chilled after an overnight covering of snow' - @RonDaviesPhoto
3 - ‘A magical calm winter evening. Perfect reflections, the air filled with orange light by the sun’s molten gold disc as it slips towards the Welsh mountains. The only sound the throbbing of the passing ferry’s engines, heard clearly across the still water' - @RonDaviesPhoto
4 - 'The sky over the Mersey Estuary glows with lemon winter light, the surrounding sea reflects a pale delicate wash of yellow as the Iron Men slowly emerge from the waters of an outgoing tide' - @RonDaviesPhoto
5 - ‘A sky full of drama over Crosby beach where a lone Iron Man bathes in the outgoing tide. A band of altocumulus cloud acts as a filter for the sunlight, drawing lines of shadow through the clear air' - @RonDaviesPhoto
6 - ‘The leaving of Liverpool. Waving goodbye to the aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales as she slips out of the Mersey on a beautiful March evening with late golden sunlight striking across Crosby beach' - @RonDaviesPhoto
7 - 'The sky is washed with light, the air filled with gold on this early Spring day. Distant showers cloud the air but here on Crosby beach all is serene as a lone Iron Man surveys the glittering sea' - @RonDaviesPhoto
8 - 'A summer sunset paints a hazy sky with shades of rose and lavender, the sea is calm. Three Iron Men on Crosby beach echo the vertical forms of the distant metal giants, their arms stilled by the lack of wind on this hazy summer evening' - @RonDaviesPhoto
9 - 'Winter storms combine with a spring tide to send waves crashing over the promenade at Crosby beach. The iron men are hidden from view, submerged by the high seas, a small black head breaking through the foam the only clue to their existence' - @RonDaviesPhoto
10 - ‘This November sky was aflame with colour. Long after the earth spun into shadow, high dappled clouds caught the light of the sun, changing in intensity from blood orange to volcanic red, a finale of glowing molten lava edged clouds, fire in the sky' - @RonDaviesPhoto
11 - 'A reminder that winter is not finished. The distant hills of Wales gleam white in the morning sunshine as a passing frontal system in early March brings a late dusting of snow to Crosby beach' - @RonDaviesPhoto
12 - 'The finale to a stormy sunset down on Crosby beach. Although the sun is now below the horizon its last rays illuminate the underside of the dark clouds with a fiery red glow before finally being extinguished' - @RonDaviesPhoto
13 - 'The aftermath of Storm Aileen. Pools in hollows, pounded into the beach by the rough seas of the recent storm, catch the fast moving bursts of sunlight with a silver glow like a chain of sparkling jewels spread across the sand' - @RonDaviesPhoto
14 - 'There has been rain, but the clouds break at the end of the day, edged with a golden light as the sun sinks to the west, a wonderful colourful display to cheer the iron men on Crosby beach' - @RonDaviesPhoto
15 - 'A calm sea on this first day of winter. The light is milky and opalescent, land sea and sky merge and become one. The horizon is a hazy line at the edge of the still waters, the mountains of Snowdonia a distant darker grey shadow in the hazy light' - @RonDaviesPhoto
16 - 'The distant hills of Snowdonia are silhouetted against a magnificent afterglow after the winter sun sank below the hills to saturate the clear sky with shades of deep orange, a perfect winter evening at Crosby beach' - @RonDaviesPhoto
17 - 'The glowing orb of the setting sun reflects off the wet sands of Crosby beach as the tide recedes at the end of a perfect late spring day, the warm light matching the heat of the day' - @RonDaviesPhoto
18 - 'A simmering, sultry summer evening at Another Place, an iron man on Crosby beach gazes west towards a horizon filled with a massed army of metal giants, their huge arms at rest on this hot day' - @RonDaviesPhoto
19 - 'Rain descends from moisture heavy clouds over the Irish Sea, forming a thin grey veil between the iron men on Crosby beach and the beauty of the winter sunset over the Welsh hills' - @RonDaviesPhoto
20 - 'A light dusting of snow and Crosby beach transforms into an Arctic wilderness with the strong silhouette of an iron man the only sign of man's habitation and art' - @RonDaviesPhoto
21 - 'Art blends with nature and industry, the iron men of Crosby beach glow in the last light of day, in the distance the lights of Seaforth docks compete against the approaching darkness' - @RonDaviesPhoto
22 - 'The iron men enjoy a stunning sunset at Crosby beach, the wet sands transformed into a sparkling, jewelled multicoloured layer of light; streaks of orange and blue, painted from the colours in the sky, turn the beach into a piece of modern art' - @RonDaviesPhoto
23 - 'The inspirational quality of man's art placed in swirling waters and surrounded by glorious changes of light created by earth's passage through the universe. Who cannot fail to be filled with wonder at this blend of art and nature before us?' - @RonDaviesPhoto
24 - 'Wintery weather has struck along the entire Sefton coast, changing the scene at Crosby beach into a monochromatic wilderness, the dunes and beach carpeted with a layer of snow and the iron men edged in white' - @RonDaviesPhoto
25 - 'Crosby beach in the quiet stillness of a winter evening, time this Christmas to reflect on the year and wish for better times ahead' - @RonDaviesPhoto
