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 […]
A July Evening Walk Up Penwyllt
My Tuesday evening jaunt with the lads from the rugby club sees me returning to walk Penwyllt — only my second time here (not including the short walk with my […]
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 […]
Such a Peaceful Evening
Both my girls were exhausted and soon asleep and I had a few more chores to do before bed. Temperatures soared up to 23 today after a week of on/off […]
Regressor feat. Jakub Zytecki – Honey Bomb
Every once in a while, a track comes along that I know is an instant 5-star rating, and will reside on my permanent favourites playlist for years. Honey Bomb is […]
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 […]
Bistrot Pierre
I’m a photographer. It’s perfectly normal to photograph the ceiling when I’m having a meal out.
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 […]
There’s so much to do… and not enough time to do it
There is no possible way I could say I’m in a creative funk at the moment. No, I suffer from the opposite in that I’ve got so many ideas, so […]
Ubuntu on Lenovo X250
I bought a Lenovo X250 laptop, refurbished with Windows 11 off eBay last year. It all seemed fine. I added an internal battery, and a high capacity removable battery to […]
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 […]
I’m in book-highlighting heaven with Clippings.io
I’m in book-highlighting heaven with Clippings.io As a voracious reader of ebooks, I’ve found immense value in highlighting passages of interest when I’m reading. Highlighting passages allows me to collect […]
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, […]
Khashab Al Oud – by Ard Al Zaafaran
From the start of the year, I switch out my winter fragrance choices for much crisper, fresher fragrances – citruses, fougeres. This trend continues up until June when the skies […]
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.
Extracted by – R R Haywood
Review contains minor spoilers. I’ve got to admit, to me the premise of Extracted sounded both high-concept and cheesy at the same time. Three people; a world war two commando, […]
