St Davids – Cloud Inversion

Fantastic cloud inversion across the north Pembrokeshire coastline. From the top of Carn Lidi the view was amazing, with Whitesands beach visible below and Ramsey Island covered with cloud!

More Mountain Biking on the Preseli Hills!

Some fun shots from mountain biking yesterday. Went from Rosebush right across the tops and back. Started warm but got chilly later in the day as the clouds came over.IMG_1410 IMG_1415 IMG_1417 IMG_1420 IMG_1425 IMG_1426 IMG_1433 IMG_1439 IMG_1442 IMG_1443

Port Talbot Steel Works

I see the Steel Works at Port Talbot a lot when travelling to Cardiff and Cirencester with work. I’ve been trying to get the time to go up the mountains that overlook the industrial landscape and take some photos.

Here’s one below and there are some more on derekphillipsphotography.co.uk/photography-blog/item/89-port-talbot-steel-works.html

Seals at Martins Haven

Went to Martins Haven near Marloes on Sunday to look for the seals and their pups. Found quite a few on the little beach at Martins Haven, and lots in the coves around the Deer Park.

A couple of shots from a ride up the mountain today – it was very wet, muddy and I got caught in a rainstorm! But very good anyway 🙂
