Whiteford Lighthouse
Wiki:
It is an unusual cast-iron lighthouse built in 1865 to a design by John Bowen (1825–1873) of Llanelli, by the Llanelli Harbour and Burry Navigation Commissioners to mark the shoals of Whiteford Point, replacing an earlier piled structure of 1854, of which nothing remains. It is the only wave-swept cast-iron tower of this size in Britain. The tower is 44 feet (13 m) high and stands just above low-water level. The base is about 24 feet (7.3 m) in diameter and rises gracefully to a diameter of 11 feet 6 inches (3.51 m) at lantern level. A pitched stone apron surrounds the base of the lighthouse

The Deffynog Yew a 4000 year old tree at the top of the Tawe Valley
Rumour has it that it may even be old enough to have witnessed the last time that Yen had a wash 🙂

Just imagine though the historic events this tree has lived through, the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, Genghis Khan, and the millions of times Pete has changed his oil

Anyone who tells you that mobile phone cameras are as good as a DSLR/Mirrorless tell them to fuck off
Took a walk along Cwm Ddu Glen did the best I could with my Google pixel, even shot in RAW and edited in Capture One, still no comparison, although it's still true that the best camera is the one you have with you

Yeah, there's no way any phone camera will compete with any decent DSLR/Mirrorless, but it's the convenience factor of always having the phone in my pocket. 

A photo opportunity that I've always regretted not taking was on my way to work one morning in a village not far from the big hangers at Cardington in Bedfordshire.  As I drove into the village that morning the moon was still in the sky, just above a line of trees and there was one of the airships from Cardington just above the moon. It looked like the moon was suspended from the airship. I wished that I'd had my camera with me!
