Across the Irish Sea crowds gathered at a north Wales beach to watch a 128.5-tonne electricity transformer arriving ashore.
The transformer, BBC News Wales reports, was unloaded from an 262.5ft (80m) barge on the coast near Porthmadog, Gwynedd which Afloat.ie adds is located at the foot of the Llŷn Peninsula that juts out 50kms into the Irish Sea and southwest of the ferryport of Holyhead off the Isle of Anglesey.
Described as "the size of a large motorhome", it will remain on Morfa Bychan beach until it is transported to Trawsfynydd substation where it will replace an old model.
It is the first time National Grid has used a public Welsh beach in this way.
National Grid said the new transformer, which regulates the voltage of electricity between circuits, "will ensure power continues to be delivered reliably" to the local area.
The company said it had used the beach to avoid disruption at Porthmadog Harbour.
