Small patches were starting to melt creating circular areas and some great patterns on the surface of the pool. I find making landscape images?around the pool quite difficult due to some telephone lines and houses being visible in the background, which I don&#8217;t like. The one direction that is free of these didn&#8217;t seem to work as an image this time. Also having a clear blue sky didn&#8217;t really help with providing interest in the sky either.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/tn_cefn-bryn-ilston-valley-8721.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-638\" title=\"Broad Pool, Gower Peninsula\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/tn_cefn-bryn-ilston-valley-8721.jpg\" alt=\"Broad Pool, Gower Peninsula\" width=\"399\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/tn_cefn-bryn-ilston-valley-8721.jpg 399w, https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/tn_cefn-bryn-ilston-valley-8721-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/tn_cefn-bryn-ilston-valley-8721-266x400.jpg 266w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 399px) 100vw, 399px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I decided to focus on more detail images which I find come more naturally to me than wider landscape views any way.
