Fabulous pics guys! I have lived in Australia for 36 years but you never forget the place you were brought up. I did my schooling in Brygolog comp (think thats how you spell it).
I am a photographer too. Use Nikon gear, old D1x and D2 bodies. Should come to Aus foe photos.
Great memories, keep up the good work.

These are just wonderful photos, and being brought up in the Cynon Valley, brings home just how beautful a place it is.
Please keep the photo's coming.

Fabulous photos - I've just returned from my holiday, where I discovered St Gwynno's Church by chance. On looking at headstones, I was amazed to discover that my Great Grandfather and Grandmother are buried there. Your photos will remind me of that memorable day that took me by complete surprise.
Gorgeous.......

Brilliant pix - an inspiration for artists. I will use some of these for paintings if that's ok!

fantastic images,an inspiration for me.
i wander through a lot of these very places,but my shots can't match these.
inti29-Jun-2006 05:25
I've spent many wonderful days exploring our countryside...never with a map and often with no sense of where i am exactly..so it's possible I've come this way.
However, I've enjoyed this visit very much, a beautiful collection of images.
Regards Rob

Wonderful gallery with marvellous landscapes pics. great light and composition
Congratulations and my vote.

I happened to come across Saint Gwynno's Church one day purely by accident whilst walking in this area. It's hard to believe that other people havent left comment on these most natural pictures. They really do have great value and mystery.

This is a fine gallery. That it has attracted little comment reflects more on the nature of pBase visitors than on the quality of this gallery.
One of its main strengths, that it is more than post-card pretty photographs, is unfortunately seen by many here as a weakness.
One of its other strengths, the notes on each photo, add immeasurably to many of the photos, giving them a wonderful context and depth often beyond just the initially visible.
A fine gallery.
