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 to stop for shots of the river while out and […]
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. At this point if the journey, I was already giddy […]
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 from road level. This afternoon, I happened to be in […]
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 archives. I think forests are my favourite places to wander. […]
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 looked this morning. I love seeing the mountain glowing while […]
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. Nearly 7 years living in Ystrad, yet I could count […]
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 caught it at autumn’s peak, but there were still some […]
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 seen about eight rainbows. Nearly forgot the milk though! Tesco, […]
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 the house. Station Road, Ystradgynlais.
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 skies. East Pit / Llyn Rhosamman, Cwmllynfell
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 young daughter before I found out I’d left the car […]
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 quite like being in woodland during golden hour. Ystradgynlais, Wales, […]
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 slip out of the house while the world still slept, […]
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 rain. The weather has been so changeable — sunglasses and […]
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 one such track. I discovered Jakub Zytecki about two years […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
