Machno Falls, a very well hidden (and un-advertised) fall but well worth a look. bq. An old guide book describes the falls as follows: 'Nature has double been assisted by art for the old mill wheel plays a most effective part in the view.' Sadly the wheel has gone but the shell of the old corn mill is still standing. The clear water of the Afon Machno is turquoise as it falls into the chasm and surges into the cleft below. _Quoted from Walks Around Betwes-y-Coed by Hilarry Kendel and Hilary Bradnam_

This photograph was taken during a walk last weekend. Up to now, I have avoided taking photographs of plants but have realised that I can look at them differently and am enjoying playing with the different effects that can be achieved, for example by changing the point of focus, as I have in this shot.

This was taken on an exceptional clear evening in November. The full sized panorama shows North Devon, behind Brean Down. Cardiff can also be seen behind Birnbeck Pier.

Steepholme and Flatholme as Seen while docked at Penarth(they can be spotted at the right side end of the horizon). A very moody image capture on a cruise on the "Bolmoral":http://www.waverleyexcursions.co.uk/balmoral.htm on one of its rare trips from Weston-super-Mare. The effect was achieved by taking a series of photos, with the exposure compensation ranging from -3 to +3 EV. These were aligned then highlights and shadows were compressed. This was not my intended final photo but it caught my eye in Photoshop as I was cycling through the layer merge options.

Sunset Over The Grand Pier in Weston-super-Mare. Taken in December and captures the lovely light we get at sunsets. Technically this was a difficult shot to put together as it is a stitch of nine photos, taken at different exposures.
