Hilbre Sunset Thrift

Taken on one of my favourite Wirral walks, “Hilbre Sunset Thrift” captures the beauty of the pink sea thrift that blooms each spring on Hilbre Island. In this shot, the delicate flowers frame the rugged rocks as the sun dips below the horizon, casting warm golden light across the Dee Estuary.

This image combines the fleeting beauty of the thrift flowers with the timeless charm of Hilbre’s coastline, creating a scene that feels both vibrant and tranquil. It’s a reminder of how special this tidal island is to explore at sunset, when colours and light seem to align perfectly.

Printed on demand using C-Type Fuji Matt or Fuji Gloss paper, these prints are available in four different sizes. Each is supplied un-mounted with a 10mm white border, ready for you to mount and frame at home. Professionally produced to gallery quality, it’s a striking piece of Wirral coastal photography.
