Description

A one minute exposure of the colourful beach huts of Barry Island eliminates all of the passers by and gives the clouds in the sky a streaky appearance.

These new beach huts at Barry Island in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales in the United Kingdom were constructed and opened in 2014.
Barry Island (Welsh: Ynys y Barri) is a district, peninsula and seaside resort, forming part of the town of Barry in the Vale of Glamorgan, South Wales. It is named after the 6th century Saint Baruc. Barry's stretch of coast, on the Bristol Channel, has the world's second highest tidal range of 15 metres (49 ft), second only to Bay of Fundy in Eastern Canada.
The peninsula was an island until the 1880s when it was linked to the mainland as the town of Barry expanded. This was partly due to the opening of Barry Docks by the Barry Railway Company. Established by David Davies, the docks now link up the gap which used to form Barry Island.
