Misty Trail in Ystradfawr
I stumbled across this one in my collection recently and was surprised I hadn’t done anything with it in three years. A quick edit, and I can now see why I took the shot in the first place. Ystradfawr Nature […]
Autumn on the A484
I spent a few months living in Drefach Felindre — a lovely village nestled in the wilds of west Carmarthenshire, about half an hour from Carmarthen and Cardigan. To get there from Carmarthen you take A484 north west through the […]
Pools of Spring Sunshine Near Carreg Cennen
Back in April 2016, I led a Meetup.com walking group on a circular route starting from Carreg Cennen Castle car park, through countryside and up onto the edge of the Brecon Beacons before heading back down to the base of […]
Sunset on Brecon Road, Ystradgynlais
This is a throwback to Brecon Road, Ystradgynlais in 2020 and looks quite different now due to the Persimmon Maes Y Rhos development which now stands where those vehicles are parked. Another example of how there can be so much […]

I was lucky enough to be in the passenger seat of the car while driving over the Britannia Terrace. It was golden hour and the view north to Snowdonia was stunning. I love the simplicity of the image, and the […]
Carrying My Camera with me Every Day
I’ve been using Panasonic Lumix cameras for well over a decade. Starting with an LX-5 back in 2010, it revolutionised my photo taking. Before that, I’d been reluctant to lug my Nikon DSLR with me everywhere — aside from the […]
Forest Trail in Coed Y Brenin
We stayed at Gelli Goch cottages near Dolgellau for an autumn getaway. The weather was pretty horrific throughout, but when there were some sunny spells, I was quick to get out and go walking. Just across the A470 from the […]
Dawn Over The Pines
I love this image. Taken on a dawn walk in the summer, up on the forestry trails that skirt Nant Helen opencast mine in Ystradgynlais. It pretty much encapsulates the sense of calm and wonder I get when walking amongst […]
The Sleeping Giant At Dawn
The Sleeping Giant (Cribarth) is a hill in the Brecon Beacons, overlooking the village of Abercrave. It was given its name due to its profile from the south west looking like a giant lying on his back. Having lived in […]
