  1. Y Mynyddoedd Duon (the Black Mountains) in South Wales for today's #StandingStoneSunday

    The wrecked Pen y Beacon stone circle, situated at the foot of the summit of the same name (Hay Bluff in English). Only one sizable stone remains standing, although there are numerous smaller stones buried in the turf. Tremendous views and sometimes an ice-cream van.

    This visit May 2012 while walking Offa's Dyke Path.

  2. Ari Rex On January 2019 Canberra had one of the most spectacular lightning storms ever. It passed the city from West to East over the black mountains and continued towards Brindabella mountains #Canberra #LightningStorm #StormChaser #WeatherPhotography #Thunderstorm #NaturePower #BlackMountains

  3. A moody day in South Wales for #StandingStoneSunday.

    This is Carreg Wen Fawr Y Rugos stone row (something of a rarity in this area), up on the limestone hills above Llangynidr, with marvellous views north across the Usk valley to the Black Mountains.

    The row consists of a very long, tapering recumbent stone (if upright it would be over 2m tall) and at least 8 other smaller standing stones.

    Visited on a drizzly day in May 2010.

  4. Last summer I started on a long held ambition to walk the River Wye/Afon Gwy from Severn to source. After doing 70 miles of the #WyeValleyWalk a combination of train difficulties, worsening weather and finally Covid stopped my progress at Hay on Wye.

    Delighted to be back on it today, a short 8 mile section of changeable spring weather and stunningly beautiful scenery between Hay and Boughrood, the Black Mountains an ever present companion.
