Figures in a landscape. The matchstick like silhouettes of the iron men appear against the patchwork of tidal pools reflecting the evening sky as dusk falls across a colourful Crosby beach yesterday evening. #IronMenCrosby #SeftonCoast
Pools of blue reflect the calm clear skies over Crosby beach last night as the setting sun painted the horizon with streaks of warm gold.

A beautiful calm stillness descended on Crosby beach at sunset last night. The Welsh mountains clearly defined against the pale blueness of the sky and out over the sea the warm orange glow from the last of the day’s light. #IronMenCrosby #SeftonCoast
My favourite picture from last night. The earth rotates eastward into night bringing the sun towards the horizon on the day of the autumn equinox marking the end of summer 2025.

Watching the sun go down. The iron men on Crosby beach witness yet another stunning sunset as the the alignment of the sun and the earth brings to a close the autumn equinox, tipping us into the days of longer nights. #IronMenCrosby #SeftonCoast #autumnequinox
A stunningly clear autumn equinox afternoon at Crosby beach. The outgoing tide has left wet sands all shimmer and glitter in the bright sunlight. #IronMenCrosby #SeftonCoast
Yesterday evening, the MSC Preziosa sailed past Crosby beach into a glorious end of summer sunset. #IronMenCrosby #SeftonCoast
A vast number of sea potatoes, sea urchin shells, washed up on Crosby beach today. This is just a small selection. #SeftonCoast
The joy of Crosby beach on a windy day. Swift moving clouds across open skies, the sound of waves breaking on the shore, the spray and scent of the sea but most of all the fast changing light and its interplay with the sea and the weather. #IronMenCrosby #SeftonCoast
The wind driven waves glisten in wonderful dramatic light at Crosby beach this afternoon as swiftly passing showers are highlighted by bursts of sunlight. #IronMenCrosby #SeftonCoast
Sunlight sparkling on rough seas, a silhouette the top half of an iron man emerges through the waves.
The wind torn rough sea was restless, wave tops white and catching the light as an iron man emerges from the waves after a daily immersion at high tide on Crosby beach yesterday. #IronMenCrosby #SeftonCoast
Today the sea was all foam and glitter as a strong wind pushed an afternoon high tide high up Crosby beach. Racing clouds scattered distant showers across the Wirral Peninsula whilst the iron men on Crosby beach stood in bursts of sunlight. #IronMenCrosby #SeftonCoast
Watching the squalls roll by. An iron man looks on as a quickly moving band of showers passes across the Dee Estuary and the Wirral peninsula. Out to sea there is blue sky and sunshine. A mixed afternoon today at Crosby beach. #SeftonCoast
Beautiful light over Crosby beach this afternoon as Virga (rain that does not reach the ground) is caught by the sunlight from above. #IronMenCrosby #SeftonCoast
Gentle muted skies at sunset tonight on Crosby beach. A band of high cloud dimmed the setting sun but it still managed to paint the higher clouds with shades of peach and apricot. A beautiful calm end of summer evening.

Over twenty years the iron men have been witness to many events, tall ships, cruise ships, great moments in history, severe storms and magnificent displays of the aurora. #IronMenCrosby #SeftonCoast

"Blitz beach" is a stretch of coastline north of Crosby where rubble from the Liverpool Blitz was dumped during World War 2. #crosbybeach #blitzbeach #seftoncoast #liverpoolblitz
Last night the incoming sea was like molten lead, its surface stirred by the breeze, ripples of light and a moving mirror of all the colours in the sky, long after the sun had set. #CrosbyBeach #SeftonCoast
Tonight at Crosby beach, sunset at 19.58. The tide incoming, lapping around the feet of iron men.
Glowing disc of the sun sinks the sea. The clear sky is suffused with soft shades of peach and apricot once the sun has vanished below the horizon. #SeftonCoast
A beautiful afternoon but a bad day for any cloud enthusiasts down on Crosby beach today with 360° of clear blue sky. #SeftonCoast
Crosby beach was all glitter and sparkle this afternoon as the outgoing tide left wet sands to reflect the clear sunlight and a stunningly blue sky. #SeftonCoast
So much blue sky today, only the thinnest wisp of cirrus cloud and a moving white pencil line drawn across the firmament by a passing aircraft. A beautiful afternoon with the iron men on Crosby beach. #SeftonCoast
Attended the community and volunteer workshop at Bootle Town Hall last night for the Sefton Coast Nature Conservation Strategy 🌳🌍
We're so lucky to have the Sefton coast right on our doorstep but it faces many challenges.
Thanks to everyone for a great session. #SeftonCoast #NatureConservation
Reaching for the blue. Silver birches and pines along the Fisherman’s Path, Freshfield, #SeftonCoast stretch skywards towards yesterday’s clear skies.
