The pool on Cefn Bryn ... you can cross Gower from the North road to the South road by travelling across the Cefn Bryn ... I’ve lived here for 55 years and never seen the pool dry up
I love this photo because it gives a real sense of how the awesome Sun's energy brings life to everything on Earth. This was taken at Cefyn Bryn on the Gower Peninsula.
This location can be found on the Gower Coastal Path between Oxwich Bay and Port Eynon Bay. There are so many cool photo opportunities along the path which keeps me going back year after year.
