A well known trick that artists (and others) use to help them see things afresh, is to turn their work upside down.
The reflection in the river is already upside down – so what does it look like turned around? Check out the last image below to see a weird take on this image.Continue reading
The salt marshes edge the River Loughor as it flows out to the estuary. The footpath down by the riverside is more open now than it was just two or three years ago.
