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 […]
Cefn Sidan in March
It’s utterly insane what good results you can get from phone cameras now. The Sony Xperia 5 MkV can shoot RAW. This means you have what the sensor picks up, […]
Longer Days
Tail end of February. Noticeably longer days. Not quite so good for catching sunsets on the way home from work, but skies still impressive.
Golden Frosty Morning
0°c at 4am dropping to -2.5°c by 7am. A dry, frosty morning. I absolutely love this view looking down the valley on mornings like this. Cold mist, golden light on […]
Final Sunset at the End of a Dry Week
Such a novelty to have a whole week of no rain. I’m worried we’ll get used to it. Great to have so many sunsets though. Teasing brighter evenings in the […]
Spoilt with Sunsets This Week
The dry weather and chill wind continues, and we’re being spoilt with fine days and warm sunsets. Temperatures seemed to lift towards 5pm this evening. I could certainly live with […]
