Aberdare

Found this very cool waterfall on an early morning exploration of the Brecon Beacons National Park. There's a ledge from where it can be shot but with a 17 mm lens I had to do a panorama to capture it all. Parking space is aplenty, although the free ones fill up fast (or so I've heard) so get there early.
