Storm Light on Brecon Road, Ystradgynlais
Winter tends to bear the brunt of the most criticism of all the seasons of the year: It’s dark when you wake, and dark when you head home from work. […]
Rainy Night on Station Road, Ystradgynlais
What a day! I haven’t seen the Tawe so swollen in a good while. The crazy weather coincided with a crazy work day, so whilst I didn’t have any time […]
Late November Sunrise Over Clywedog Reservoir
I’ve driven past this several times, but not had the chance to stop and take it in until a few weeks ago on a weekend trip up to north Wales. […]
Late November Sunset Over Ystradgynlais
Six years ago, I fell in love with this view while staying overnight for the first time in Ystradgynlais. Many a time I see sunsets down the valley, but usually […]
Winter Light in Brechfa Forest
After posting a shot of Caio Forest the other day, I went delving for some more forest photos and found this one of Brechfa Forest in early December in my […]
Light Snow on Brecon Road
Oh – my – goodness, it’s fresh out this morning. This one’s from a couple of years ago (the 30 sign is a giveaway), but pretty similar to how it […]
Diamond Park, Ystradgynlais at Golden Hour
Diamond Park, Ystradgynlais yesterday afternoon. Amazing I actually had a chance to take some photos in between wrangling our foster pup and trying to stop my daughter from running off. […]
Gorsedd Park, Ystradgynlais in Autumn
I do not get down to the Gorsedd Park in Ystradgynlais often enough — even though I spend most of my life just around the corner. I don’t think I […]
Sunset at Tesco
I’ve got to be honest, I feel a little self-conscious standing in the supermarket car park taking photos. Cracking sky – no wonder with today’s weather – I must have […]
Golden Hour in the Valley
It’s been rather unsettled recently, so sunsets have been pretty dramatic. I love the moody sky and the way the low sun down the valley is catching the edge of […]
Dragon’s Breath Over Ystradgynlais
Lovely cool tones with the dragon’s breath down the valley this morning.
Sunset Over East Pit / Llyn Rhosamman
Cracking skies up at Llyn Rhosamman this week — not quite as spectacular sunset as I’d hoped, but still good. Weather turned halfway round the lake. Worth it for big […]
Nant Helen Woods at Golden Hour
I took a July evening walk from Station Road up to ‘the machine’, along the hillside to Penrhos and down through the woodlands at the side of Nant Helen. Nothing […]
Morning Light on the Line
There’s a special kind of tranquility that settles over the world just before dawn. Before my daughter made her grand entrance, these early morning excursions were my cherished ritual. I’d […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Misty Autumn Sunrise Over Nant Helen
September shot by in a flash. Life is just so insanely busy at the moment due to several factors — my two-year old waking early in the morning, my partner […]
Dawn Rain on Brecon Road
Right now it feels like summer has departed, and autumn is having a crack at the year early. Horse chestnut leaves are already on the turn, and that familiar morning […]
