Dist:0.1km<br/>It appears that the owner of the house at the end of this little road is not too bothered about blocking the footpath with cut off oak branches. I had difficulty getting to the stile.

Dist:0.7km<br/>This suspension bridge is a short walk from the main road between Pontamman and Glanamman. The bridge joins a cycle path that runs along the north bank of the river Amman. Curiously the path has only been extended a couple of hundred yards downstream from this point.

Dist:0.7km<br/>This tree on the eastern edge of the colliery seems to have survived between the spoil heap and the access track up it.

Dist:0.8km<br/>Looking upstream from the north bank of the river Amman two divergent streams can be seen rejoining each other around the tip of an island in the middle of the river.

Dist:0.9km<br/>This is the back garden of a house near Ammanford, lit entirely by moonlight and some ambient street light. The house is crowned by the "Plough" constellation. Note the second top star of the pan-handle. Even at this resolution, you can clearly see two stars in the picture - Alcor and Mizar, one of the few binary star systems visible to the human eye, used as an ancient eye test - you had good vision if you could see both with the naked eye.

Dist:0.9km<br/>As a remnant of the closed mine, possibly this rusty sign may well be still in use by new tenants to direct traffic back down the road...

Dist:1.0km<br/>A phenomenon seen when fine ice crystals in the upper atmosphere refracts the sun's rays. A halo (parhelic circle) forms at 22º around the sun when it's close to the horizon on crisp evenings (just visible in this photograph) and two "mock suns" appear on either side of the sun at 90º and 270º, often being seen as two tiny rainbows. The sun in this picture is way overexposed causing it to seem bloated (and actually damaged the camera's CCD while taking this picture!)

Dist:1.0km<br/>From an adjacent spoil heap, this ruin is all that can be seen. The washery and the tracks to the spoil heaps are marked with posts and bunting. Perhaps they are being redeveloped too.

Dist:1.0km<br/>A new cycle path is under construction which will extend an existing cycle route (National Route 437) that runs up the Amman Valley with Ammanford.
