Did you know that the National Library of Wales was founded by Royal Charter in 1907? It was given to define its purpose and independence.

Really enjoyed providing the live drone footage for BBC/S4C coverage of the Eisteddfod again this year. Great to work with such a professional and friendly team.

Epic storm in the hills behind Aberystwyth this evening #stormwatch

Aberystwyth north beach at dusk. Have you kicked the bar?

The National Library of Wales digitisation team are busy scanning content for the National Broadcast Archive. Apparently moustaches were pretty popular in the 70s 😀

Fresh water from the Ystwyth and Rheidol rivers mix with the sea in Aberystwyth. The colour is perfectly natural and comes from deposits of peat and soil which have runoff into the rivers from the surrounding countryside after recent rainfall. (Not sewage being released!)

A fantastic opportunity at an amazing institution. We’re looking for an inspirational new leader. goodsonthomas.com/opportunities?…

With the help of several local businesses, the war memorial in Aberystwyth has been illuminated this evening. Looks amazing

Beautiful evening in Aberystwyth. Took a walk up Consti to enjoy a view of the prom.

Perfect weather for sailing in Aberystwyth

Aurora in every direction last night. A few shots from Aberystwyth

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a sea mist roll in as quickly as the one that hit Aberystwyth this evening. It was a beauty though.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.
