Glitterpath over Cardigan Bay at sunset as the sun quickly sinks into Carn Fadryn and perhaps one of its Bronze Age cairns.
Photo of a yellow sun turning the whole world orange as it sets into a silhouetted black mountainous peninsula beyond a sea of calm ripples with a yellow glitterpath to the tallest mountain.

A summer solstice season sunset from Thursday night at the Parth y Gwyddwch stone row #Meirionnydd The sun’s glitterpath points to Mynnydd Rhiw (site of Neolithic axe factory) on the Lleyn Peninsular.
A rounded, white lichen-encrusted standing stone standing amid cobbles and loose white sheep wool on a green hill overlooking a calm violet sea. The golden orb of the sun is low in a chalky blue sky and looks like the eye of a daisy from which white clouds stream outwards like petals. The sun casts a gold and orange glitterpath on the sea which links the hill with the stone to the distant mountains on the peninsula over the bay.

Another glowing red sunset with glitterpath over the sea, whilst high in the sky a waxing gibbous moon is making its way towards full opposition with the sun on Saturday. So grateful for such lovely weather!
The orb of a yellow sun in a bright red sky sinks towards a pale blue sea that is lightly rippled with a bright red glitterpath stretching towards the photographer. Twisted bare black tree branches silhouetted along m with fruiting ivy stems overlie the whole image. A waxing gibbous moon with shadows of its seas just visible rides in an indigo sky above a tree just coming into leaf.

Some #SolarEclipse 2026 photos of the sun setting over Cardigan Bay #Wales. This morning’s apocalyptic wildfire smoke has abated.
Photo of the sun in the process of being eclipsed whilst starting to set over the sea. A startled sheep stares at the camera from its tree-fringed field. Low exposure photo of the setting sun, partially eclipsed by the moon, with the sun’s glitterpath over the sea and silhouettes of leafy trees in the foreground. Photo of pinhole camera effect on the wall of next door’s house, capturing the eclipsed sun through gaps in the leaves of a nearby tree. So pretty because they rustled in the faint breeze. Another low exposure photo of the eclipsed sun setting, with glitterpath, over the sea.

Parhelia balance an evening sunset over the calmest of seas.
Cirrus clouds streaking a pale blue sky whilst a yellow sun sets towards its glitterpath across a matching pale blue sea. Rainbow sundogs / parhelia hang above the sea, equidistant from the sun. Silhouettes of bare trees crowd the foreground.

What looks like the #sun here is actually a #fullmoon rising! This phenomenon, sometimes called a moon river, #moonglade, #glitterpath, or #moonwake, the path of the moon on the water, is a sight to behold over dark bodies of water such as the #sea.

A lone sheep, an old Welsh farm and a solstice season sun setting and casting a glitterpath over a calm salmon-pink and lilac bay.
A white sheep stands on a green hill. Behind there is an old slate and stone farmhouse on a more distant green hill. The hills slope down to the sea, which is a bay surrounded by a semi-circle of mountains. A gold sun is dropping low in the sky casting a gold glitter path bordered in sodium orange that diffuses out to paler salmon, pink and lilac across the calm rippleless waters. Above, there are white and grey clouds in a blue sky.

Last night’s sunset and this morning’s Equinox half moon. Am getting excited for Saturday’s solar eclipse - I know where my eclipse spectacles are!
A glowing red sun, half obscured by a dense dark purple cloud sets and its solid dark orange glitterpath reaches out over a calm, palest blue and lightly rippled sea. The half of the sky not covered by cloud is orange. There are the black silhouettes of bare tree branches in the foreground. A small half moon loiters low in the morning twilight over a distant hill. In the foreground, the bare black branches of a tall tree occupy the right hand side of the photo. The sky is coloured grey/purple and its empty space takes up most of the picture.

… and later, before dawn, the full moon as it starts to set over the sea. The proper name for a reflected path of moonlight over the sea is a ‘moonglade’ - for the sun it is a ‘glitterpath’. Both always point to you. Would be fab if these words were as commonplace as ‘rainbow’ - they are as magical!
A dark foreground shoreline before a dark sea with a large amorphous bright white splash of reflected moonlight below the full moon which is still high in the sky. A band of white candyfloss cloud separates the sea from the sky.
