An added fun part of the @NaturePonty project was location scouting around Pontypridd. Having grown up over the mountain in the Aber Valley, I thought I knew the area pretty well but there's so much more to explore than I realised.

Model and epic human, Anniben, persevered with gales, rain and bitter cold to make this image. Extra thanks to Catrin for holding the model steady in the wind.
This is the last but one photograph that I'll be posting from the @NaturePonty project.
