Sans aucun doute, celle que je préfère! Le cadrage, la couleur, et quel point fort que ce héron!

Hello Dragon 64, It's very pretty down there on the meadows. I have a reciprocal shot from Blorenge down onto Abergavenny too. It's shown as Abergavenny and Skirrid Fawr.

Hmm? Photogenic slag heaps!

The interesting 'rock' formation in the background is actually a weathered slag heap.

It's deep in the valley there and the sun is often high overhead, making the lighting flat and uninteresting for most of the day; but if you can get there in when the sun is low over the hills it looks great, you can get some good reflections off the lake.

Woodbine Cottage is the property set back above the road; the hamlet remains relatively unchanged since I left there in 1963, except for the removal of a small colliery spoil heap. The houses on the distant hillside are part of Trevethin.

Photographed from the Merthyr side, the curve of the bridge is quite distinctive.

Pont-y-Capel bridge, near Cefn-Coed-Y-Cymmer, Merthyr Tydfil; photographed from the railway viaduct, the river is the Taff Fawr.

Looking downstream from the site of the bridge photograph.
