Carn Las The antiquity marked on the maps as Carn Las appears to be this pile of stones in the forest.

Track at Gethin woodland park A tree has fallen and seems to have taken the gate with it, but on closer inspection they were separate incidents.

Edge of Gethin forest Planted forests stop abruptly and you can see something of the land on which they are planted, as here where the moorland of Pantwaun Iago is still unplanted.

#Details! .The Aberfan disaster was the catastrophic collapse of a colliery spoil tip in the Welsh village of Aberfan, near Merthyr Tydfil, that killed 116 children and 28 adults on 21 October 1966. The collapse was caused by the build-up of water in the accumulated rock and shale tip, which suddenly slid downhill in the form of slurry. In the cemetery side by side stands and overwhelming array of arches - each one a grave to those who passed that fateful day. It is beautiful and peaceful - almost heavenly - worthy of a visit....I felt initially uncomfortable to take photos but the beauty of it overwhelmed me and will live with me forever. #Photo Details Sweepstake
