Morning everyone. Hope you all had a good weekend. I’m posting this one in defiance of the torrential rain we’re having in Ystradgynlais this morning. I’m no meteorologist, but I’m pretty confident December will be the wettest month of 2025. […]
The weather has been exceptionally grotty here in Ystradgynlais over the last few weeks, but the periods in between have been pretty breathtaking. Here’s Glantawe Park looking like something out of an 80s suburban sci-fi movie poster. The salmon hues […]
I was out on errands this afternoon and dusk was absolutely wonderous, casting vibrant hues across the landscape. I just had to take a moment to catch the sunset down Heol Eglwys. There were some incredible cloud formations later on, […]
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, […]
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.
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
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 […]
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 weeks to come.
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 these conditions until spring.
We’re currently in a cold snap. A week of dry weather is such a novelty after such a wet 2023. I prefer the bite of the wind and frozen fingers to the continual damp. I love the way on dry […]
Another sunset snap on Brecon Road, Ystradgynlais. Taken quickly on my phone while busy doing other things. But it did trigger the thought “I feel like I live in sunset land”. All my 30 odd years living in Sussex, it […]
Something I love about winter is that with all the rain and the shorter days, skies tend to be really interesting. Even the most mundane tasks (popping into Tesco to get supplies for the weekend) grant sublime moments.
Epic skies while heading home this evening. I always enjoy coming this route staring straight into the west at sunset. To my right a huge bank of angry looking black cloud, and in the distance the twinkling of streetlights on […]
Pretty much rained solidly today, and I mean absolute downpours. Cleared up a bit around 4pm, and after getting back from a property viewing, this was what greeted me on the way from the car park to the office. I […]
A run of cold days this week with snow arriving in Ystradgynlais on the Wednesday and causing carnage on Brecon Road. Come Friday the thaw was in progress and the skies lit up like fire on the way home. I […]
Winter sunsets are special. A dull grey wall of cloud gives way to warmth and colour for a fleeting moment before darkness descends. They’re a reminder that whilst daylight is on part-time hours, longer, warmer days are on the way. […]
Not a sweeping vista or epic sky, but I love its vibe. I can almost hear the splash of my boots along the trail and the patter of droplets falling from the trees. I can almost smell the woodland damp, […]
Took the scenic route through the Brecon Beacons on the way back from a day out. Couldn’t help but pull over as soon as I saw this scene. The graduated colour in the sky was the epitome of clear winter […]
