Feeding time Giving the lambs a boost in the early evening at Gwern-y-mynach. Dry weather has meant that grass is not growing as it should.

Rock outcrop Rock outcrops are rare in the upland pasture, but here we see a prominent, sandy unit of the Yr Allt Formation, of Ordovician (Ashgill) age. Because of the dry weather in recent weeks, grass has already started to die back where soil is thin over the buried rock.

Local summit A grass-covered summit in a well-tended pasture which makes a strong contrast with the bracken-covered hills on the opposite side of Cwm Chwefri. At this time of year, before new growth dominates, the dead bracken has an attractive pink-brown hue.

Small quarry Small, informal quarries provide a local source of hardcore for use on the surrounding farms. Here a working displays the fine, straight cleavage of the Ordovician (Ashgill) Yr Allt Formation, a silty or muddy rock with few beds of sandstone. The orientation of the bedding in this outcrop is obscure.

Cwm Trychan A barn and lambing-shed at the head of the cwm together with the cleared remains of the earlier farm buildings.

Quarried hillside Another informal quarry for farm use, simply excavated into the steep hillside on the east of the cwm. This is another exposure of the Ordovician (Ashgill) Yr Allt Formation, which is a thick and extensive sequence of mudstones and siltstones. The dominant feature here is a chaotic cleavage, first imposed by the Caledonian mountain-building episode and then somewhat modified by subsequent movement.

Fresh firewood Ash trees have been cut down from the roadside bank and sawn into logs ready for the fire. An interesting texture has been created in a very plain, green pasture.

Telephone box with tree Yes, I know it has been imaged before, but I think it warrants the inclusion of a bit of landscape. An idyllic location by the farm named Awelach (rough translation: more peaceful).
