Afon Llwchwr Estuary near Gowerton
This area is World famous for the Welsh salt-marsh lamb - I recommend it!
Afon Lliw at Gorseinon
Afon Lliw as it runs through Gorseinon before emptying into the Loughor Estuary.
Autumn spring tide floods river Lliw
The river Lliw, a tributary of the river Loughor floods within minutes becoming almost impassable. Impossible for cars (though some tried to our amusement) but if you own a Jeep 4X4 just some fun in a day's driving!
This happens about 3-4 times a year on high spring tides - it can get a lot higher than this on especially high tides!
Picture was taken about 45 minutes after sunset and the light is predominantly moonlight and residual sunlight.
The picture is of a submerged road, layby and in the distance the West Wales railway line bridge just in front of the main road bridge.
Amazon fulfilment centre - not all is as it seems
For a couple of months, this was the strange sight that could be seen here, about 8 miles from Swansea Bay. While Amazon were building their new Fulfilment Centre, this was their temporary location in South Wales.
The sign has since been removed after the real Swansea Bay fulfilment centre became fully operational.
