Tonight's twilight in Newport, Pembrokeshire...straight off my phone with no adjustments whatsoever!

#stormhour #thephotohour #pembrokeshire #newportpembs #newportpembrokeshire #newportestuary #twilight #landscape #seascape #photography #photographersofbluesky #photographersunited
This is a photo of twilight over Newport Estuary in Newport, Pembrokeshire, Wales on 14 May 2025. The sky looks like it has been painted with various pastel shades of blue, pink, yellow and orange, and the colours are reflected in the perfectly still water of the estuary. The shore juts out into the estuary on the right of the photo, and the beach at Newport Sands, the sea and a headland (Dinas Head) are in the distance.

#PentreIfan, our local #Neolithic #burialchamber, looking even more otherworldly than usual last week. What a privilege it was to see it like this, with not even a single footprint in the #snow.

#stunday #fsprintmonday #StandingStoneSunday #photography #thephotohour #pembrokeshire #megalith #dolmen
This is a photo of Pentre Ifan - a stunning Neolithic burial chamber in Pembrokeshire, Wales - deep in perfect snow early on 20 November 2025 following a visit from a meteorological phenomenon known as the "Pembrokeshire Dangler". The sky was grey and cloudy, and it was snowing quite heavily - so, whilst it may look like a black and white photo at a first glance, it isn't.

Cantering silently in deep #snow, this Welsh mountain #pony surprised me as I was busy taking pics in the opposite direction last week 🩶

This is an image of a Welsh mountain pony running through deep snow on the Preseli Hills in Pembrokeshire, Wales following a visit by a meteorological phenomenon known as the "Pembrokeshire Dangler" on 20 November 2025. The white-faced pony is looking towards the camera, and snow flakes can be seen again its brown body. The shape and lean of a tree directly behind the pony reflects its forward movement, and more trees and shrubs can be seen in the distance.

The #PreseliHills in #Pembrokeshire looking rather different from normal after a visit from the #PembrokeshireDangler last week! I just loved the way the fences, gates and gorse looked like they had been etched on the snow 🩶

#fsprintmonday #stormhour #thephotohour #snow #photography #landscape
This is a monochrome image of the Preseli Hills in Pembrokeshire, Wales after a massive snow dump resulting from a meterological phenomenon known as the "Pembrokeshire Dangler" in November 2025. A band of grey sky can be seen above the white hills at the top of the image, and simple lines of fences, gates and shrubs look like they have been etched on the snow. Although it looks like it may be a black and white image, it isn't!

This is a long-exposure image taken just after sunset at Newport Sands, Pembrokeshire, Wales in October 2025. A headland (Dinas Head) is silhouetted against a dramatic multicoloured sky which is reflected in the sea, and a series of wooden posts in the foreground leads the eye towards the horizon.

This is a long-exposure image of sunset at Newport Sands, Pembrokeshire, Wales on 26 September 2025. A headland (Dinas Head) is silhouetted against a dramatic sky, which is streaked with different colours and also reflected in the wet sand in the foreground. And the direction of markings on the sand, and one streaks in the sky in particular, lead the eye towards the nose of the headland.

This is a photo of sunset at Newport Sands, Pembrokeshire, Wales on 25 September 2025. There are distinct linear areas in the photo - a strip of dark sand at the bottom, a strip of calm sea in the middle, a dark headland (almost stretching across the image, forming another strip) and strips of different coloured clouds and sky at the top. The sea is highlighted gold by the setting sun and two people are silhouetted on the beach, positioned at the nose of the headland. The colour palette consists of muted shades of ochre, orange, gold, pale blue and charcoal.

Almost literally blown away by the power of nature…what a stunning and exhilarating sundown walk I had on the Wales Coast Path near #Gwbert in #Ceredigion last week.

This photo was taken at twilight on the Wales Coast Path near Gwbert in Ceredigion on 15 September 2025. It was so windy and stormy that it was very hard to stay upright. Waves are crashing over a cliff in the foreground, and it felt like they were trying to reach the stunning pink cloud which appeared to be suspended in the sky.

The Parrog in #Newport, #Pembrokeshire is one of my favourite places to watch the #twilight - particularly when the view resembles a lino cut!

Looking towards Dinas Head from the Parrog in Newport, Pembrokeshire, Wales on 15 August 2025. The calm waters of the Nevern Estuary are in the foreground and, as they snake their way to the sea, they form a leading line to the headland beyond. The pink sky takes on a golden hue when reflected in the estuary, and the pools of water that can be seen on the sand add to the overall impression of a lino cut.

This is a photo of the sun setting into a bank of grey cloud next to a headland in Newport, Pembrokeshire, Wales on 22 August 2025. There are boats in the foreground and the sun's rays are reflected in the sea. The sky is pale blue at the top, changing to vivid orange near the horizon.

This is a photo of twilight over Newport Bay, Pembrokeshire, Wales as seen from the Parrog on 17 August 2025. The dramatic sky - a vivid mix of yellow, orange and grey, and full of wispy clouds - is reflected in Newport Estuary which can be seen in the foreground. The Estuary snakes its way to the sea, leading the eye towards Dinas Head in the distance.

Kayaking into the light at golden hour...my kind of Friday night 🧡

#fsprintmonday #stormhour #thephotohour #eastcoastkin #kayaking #kayakadventure #cave #pembrokeshire #photography #landscapephotography #photographersofbluesky #goldenhour #adventure
This is an image of a yellow kayak emerging from a cave into light as sunset is approaching. The inside of the cave is gently illuminated, with silvery tones highlighted by the light. The sea and sky are golden near the horizon, and the cliffs are bathed in the last rays of the sun. The cliffs and cave are reflected in the gently rippled sea water. The photo was taken in Pembrokeshire, Wales in July 2025.

This is a photo of a yellow sea kayak nearing a natural arch off the coast of Pembrokeshire, Wales at 9pm on a fabulous blue sky evening in July 2025. The rocks - which are reflected in the calm water of the sea - are a deep copper colour and the arch provides a window on the cliffs behind.

Taken from high up in an oak tree in Pembrokeshire, Wales on 1 July 2025, this is a photo of the sun setting with a foreground of leaves silhouetted against the sky. Pastel pinky grey rippled clouds populate the top of the photo, but the sky turns increasingly cloudless and orange in the bottom right corner where the sun is setting.

This is a view towards the Parrog at Newport, Pembrokeshire at low tide from the Pembrokeshire Coast Path in June 2025. Exposed rocks - covered with algae, clumps of plants and barnacles - are in the foreground. Boats on Newport Estuary and the beach at Newport Sands are in the middle distance, and there are hills dotted with houses in the far distance.

This is a photo of a very dramatic sunset over Newport Estuary and Newport Bay taken from the Parrog in Newport, Pembrokeshire, Wales. Striped with thin, wispy clouds, the sky is varying shades of purple, orange and yellow, and is reflected in the still water. A headland (Dinas Head) is in the distance and the beach at Newport Sands and some boats are in the middle distance.

Friday night at #CwmyrEglwys, #Pembrokeshire for today's #BlueSkyMonday. After storms in the c19th, just one wall remains of the medieval church which gives the village its name in Welsh.

This a photo of the coastal village of Cwm-yr-Eglwys (Valley of the Church) in Pembrokeshire, Wales. A slate path leads the eye through a grassy churchyard to the sea and the headland beyond. Following a series of storms in the 19th century, the western entrance wall is all that remains of the stone church. The sky is bright blue with wispy white clouds.

This is a photo of a stunning sundown at Newport Sands, Pembrokeshire, Wales on 25 May 2025. Gold and copper rivulets on the wet sand are snaking their way towards the viewer, contrasting against the dark tones of the sea and dry sand in the foreground. The sky is full of dark grey clouds but, close to the horizon, it turns golden.

This is a photo of a stunning sundown at Newport Sands, Pembrokeshire, Wales on 25 May 2025. It looks like molten gold has been poured onto the wet sand, with rivulets snaking their way towards the viewer, and contrasting beautifully against the dark tones of the sea and dry sand in the foreground. Although the sun is hidden by clouds, the sky looks like it has been painted with shades of gold. Some white horses on the rolling waves break up the otherwise dark sea which, in turn, provides a dramatic contrast between the golden sky and the golden sand. Even by Newport Sands' high standards, this is a sundown I'll remember for a long time.
